धर्मे स्थितो धर्मसुतश् च राजा; धर्मश् च सूक्ष्मो निपुणोपलभ्यः ॥
वाचापि भर्तुः परमाणुमात्रं; नेच्छामि दोषं स्वगुणान् विसृज्य ॥
इदं त्व् अनार्यं कुरुवीरमध्ये; रजस्वलां यत् परिकर्षसे माम् ॥
न चापि कश् चित् कुरुते ऽत्र पूजां; ध्रुवं तवेदं मतम् अन्वपद्यन् ॥
dharme sthito dharmasutaś ca rājā; dharmaś ca sūkṣmo nipuṇopalabhyaḥ ||
vācāpi bhartuḥ paramāṇumātraṃ; necchāmi doṣaṃ svaguṇān visṛjya ||
idaṃ tv anāryaṃ kuruvīramadhye; rajasvalāṃ yat parikarṣase mām ||
na cāpi kaś cit kurute 'tra pūjāṃ; dhruvaṃ tavedaṃ matam anvapadyan ||
[Draupadi:] "The king, son of Dharma, stands in dharma, yet dharma is subtle, grasped only by the skillful; even in word I do not wish to attribute the smallest fault to my husband, setting aside his own virtues. But this is ignoble — that among the heroes of the Kurus you drag me, in my impurity; and no one here voices [disapproval] — surely they have all approved of your intent."

Even here Draupadi remains loyal to her husband: "I do not wish to attribute to him even the smallest fault." This nobility is telling — wronged by her husband's act, she defends his honor before her own. And she utters a great truth: "dharma is subtle, grasped only by the skillful" — not everything in the law is self-evident; some things require the finest discernment. The verse teaches both at once: fidelity that does not blame the beloved even in suffering, and humility before the depth of dharma, whose subtleties are not open to everyone. But bitterest of all is her word about the silent: "no one objects — so they must have approved." Silence before evil is consent to it; and the assembly of the wise, by its silence, has shared in the guilt of the one who drags her.
