tiṣṭhanti ceme kuravaḥ sabhāyāmīśāḥ sutānāṃ ca tathā snuṣāṇām |
samīkṣya sarve mama cāpi vākyaṃ vibrūta me praśnamimaṃ yathāvat || 45 ||

"Draupadi said,--"The king was summoned to this assembly and though possessing no skill at dice, he was made to play with skilful, wicked, deceitful and desperate gamblers. How can he be said then to have staked voluntarily? The chief of the Pandavas was deprived of his senses by wretches of deceitful conduct and unholy instincts, acting together, and then vanquished. He could not understand their tricks, but he hath now done so. Here, in this assembly, there are Kurus who are the lords of both their sons and their daughters-in-law! Let all of them, reflecting well upon my words, duly decide the point that I have put.
