[Draupadi:] "The duty owed by me before, which ought to have been performed, has not been performed: I am bewildered by him who drags me by force. I make only a bow to these elders in the Kuru assembly; let it not be counted my fault that this was not done by me."

Dragged by force, showered with disgrace, the queen's very first word is a bow to the elders -- and in this her unbroken nobility shows itself: dignity is held not by the position of the body but by the order of the soul. Her concern for an unperformed duty is telling: in the hour when she herself is trampled, she worries whether the hindrance wrought by violence might be reckoned her fault. The verse teaches that outward outrage does not reach inner purity, and that one faithful to dharma does not abandon reverence and rite even where she herself is stripped of everything. The cruder the violence from without, the more brightly firmness within is revealed.
