Sexual Life in Ancient India: A Study in the Comparative History of Indian Culture v2.c18.14

- **Language:** English

### [v2.c18.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v2.c18.14)

“Go, fetch Draupadī, O Prātikāmin:  
Thou needst no longer fear the Pāṇḍavas,  
Only Vidura is filled with fear, and does dispute;  
And he, indeed, ne’er wished our highest good.”  
Thus addressed, the Sūta swiftly went,  
Prātikāmin went at the king’s word;  
Even as a dog goes into the lions’ abode,  
So drew he nigh unto the Pāṇḍavas’ wife.
