How did that foremost of all women, the royal princess (Draupadi), ever devoted to her husbands, greatly fortunate and truthful, undeserving of suffering misery, endure that painful exile in the forest? O great ascetic, tell me all this in detail.
कथं च राजपुत्री सा प्रवरा सर्वयोषिताम्। पतिव्रता महाभागा सततं सत्यवादिनी॥ वनवासमदुःखार्हा दारुणं प्रत्यपद्यत। एतदाचक्ष्व मे सर्वं विस्तरेण तपोधन॥
