Draupadi said All these persons in this assembly are men learned in all the Shastras, all devoted to the performances of sacrifices and other rites and all equal to Indra (in prowess). Some of them are my Gurus (superiors) and some who stand to me as such. I cannot stay before them in this state.
वैशम्पायन उवाच प्रकीर्णकेशी पतितार्धवस्त्रा दुःशासनेन व्यवधूयमाना। ह्रीमत्यमर्षेण च दह्यमाना। शनैरिदं वाक्यमुवाच कृष्णा॥
