draupadyā viprakarṣeṇa rājyāpaharaṇena ca |
duḥkhānvitānimānkleśairnāhaṃ yoktumihotsahe || 9 ||
"Yudhishthira said, 'We regenerate ones, I too am devoted to the Brahmanas! But this destitution that hath overtaken me overwhelmed me with confusion! These my brothers that are to procure fruits and roots and the deer (of the forest) are stupefied with grief arising from their afflictions and on account of the distress of Draupadi and the loss of our kingdom! Alas, as they are distressed, I cannot employ them in painful tasks!'
