I had no hope of success, O Sanjaya, when I heard that the wicked wretch Dushasana had been able to drag out only a heap of clothes without finding its end when he had attempted to strip her of her single cloth.
यदाश्रौषं वाससां तत्र राशि समाक्षिपत्कितबो मन्दबुद्धिः। दुःशासनो गतवान्नैव चान्तं तदा नाशंसे विजयाय संजय॥
