अनुवाद
When I heard that Draupadi—her throat choked with tears, suffering, scarcely clothed, in the days of her impurity—was dragged into the assembly; that she, though having protectors, was as if defenseless—then, O Sanjaya, I lost hope of victory.

Draupadi's humiliation in the assembly is the bitterest injustice. It is said that ‘though having protectors, she was as if defenseless’—her husbands, the Pandavas, bound by the vow of the defeated, could not intervene. But her true protector was Lord Krishna, who would save her by manifesting an endless cloth (vastra-harana). Here is a great lesson: a devotee, seemingly abandoned by all, is in truth never left without the Lord; when every earthly support fails, Hari Himself becomes the refuge of one who calls upon Him. And the insult to a devotee seals the doom of those who insult her.
