2.63.36

pāpīyāṃsa ime bhūtvā saṃtīrṇāḥ patayo mama |
vetsyanti caiva bhadrāṇi rājanpuṇyena karmaṇā || 36 ||

Draupadi said,--'O best of kings, O illustrious one, covetousness always bringeth about loss of virtue. I do not deserve a third boon. Therefore I dare not ask any. O king of kings, it hath been said that a Vaisya may ask one boon; a Kshatriya lady, two boons; a Kshatriya male, three, and a Brahmana, a hundred. O king, these my husbands freed from the wretched state of bondage, will be able to achieve prosperity by their own virtuous acts!'"

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
