Vaishampayana said: When the high-souled Krishna said this in the midst of that assembly of the heroic kings, who were all excited with anger. The Panchala princess (Draupadi), surrounded by Dhristadyumna and her other heroic brothers, came to the lotus-eyed one (Krishna) who was seated with his cousins. Desirous of getting protection, she spoke thus to the refuge of all (Krishna) in angry words.
एवमुक्ते तु वैशम्पायन उवाच वचने केशवेन महात्मना। तस्मिन् वीरसमावाये संरब्धेष्वथ राजसु॥ धृष्टद्युम्नमुखैवीरैर्धातृभिः परिवारिता। पाञ्चाली पुण्डरीकाक्षमासीनं भ्रातृभिः सह। अभिगम्याब्रवीत् क्रुद्धा शरण्यं शरणैषिणी॥
