It behoveth thee to grant this permission. Thus addressed by them, king Virata, O monarch, knowing fully well the prowess of the Suta gave his assent to Sairindhri being burnt along with the Suta's son. And at this, the Kichakas approaching the frightened and stupefied Krishna of lotus-like eyes, seized her with violence.
These two bulls of the Bharata race, attired in handsome robes and decked in excellent ornaments, are a match for a thousand great car-warriors. And even this lady of eyes like lotus-petals and slender waist and sweet smiles is Drupada's daughter, thy wife's Sairindhri, for whose sake, O king, the Kichakas were slain.
Since her birth, she hath enjoyed only garlands and perfumes and ornaments and costly robes. "Draupadi replied, 'There is a class of persons called Sairindhris, who enter the services of other. Of this class there are some. I shall give myself out as a Sairindhri, skilled in dressing hair.
And it came to pass that while looking this way and that from the terrace, Virata's beloved queen, daughter of the king of Kekaya, saw Draupadi. And beholding her forlorn and clad in a single piece of cloth, the queen addressed her saying, 'O beautiful one, who are you, and what do you seek? Thereupon, Draupadi answered her, saying, 'O foremost of queens, I am Sairindhri.
And beholding her wandering, men and women came to her hastily and addressed her, saying, 'Who are you? And what do you seek? And she replied, 'I am a king's Sairindhri. I desire to serve any one that will maintain me. But beholding her beauty and dress, and hearing also her speech that was so sweet, the people could not take her for a maid-servant in search of subsistence.
Sairindhri is possessed of great beauty and Vallava also is eminently handsome. The heart of woman is hard to know, and they, I fancy, are deserving of each other. And then, they both have entered this royal family at the same time. And speaking such words she always upbraideth me. And beholding me wroth at this, she suspects me to be attached to thee."
Let Sairindhri, therefore, from whom this danger of ours hath arisen, be set free. And beholding the tree that had been uprooted by Bhimasena, they set Draupadi free and ran breathlessly towards the city.
Thy Gandharva husbands, effulgent as the sun, do not, I imagine, consider this as an occasion for manifesting their wrath, inasmuch as they do not rush to thy aid. O Sairindhri, thou art ignorant of the timeliness of things, and it is for this that thou weepest as an actress, besides interrupting the play of dice in Matsya's court.
Let Sairindhri, therefore, from whom this danger of ours hath arisen, be set free. And beholding the tree that had been uprooted by Bhimasena, they set Draupadi free and ran breathlessly towards the city.
Not long ago his own charioteer was slain in battle, and there is none equal unto the one slain that can act as my brother's charioteer. And unto him striving to obtain a charioteer, Sairindhri, O Vrihannala, hath spoken about thy skill in the management of steeds.
