P. 8. समुद्धतामुपैं:-समुद्धतः अमषः येषां तै: (अस्माभिः):-Whose anger is stirred into Violence..
उदासीनेषु......कुपितेषु-I have cause to be angry when you are indifferent and paasive, not when you are resentful.
अपगतपरिभवमात्मानं समर्थयस्व--Consider yourself as one whose insults are all avenged ; depend upon it that your honour shall be redeemed, that your disgrace shall be removed.
उद्विग्ना—Sad, dejected. ।
St. TI. अथवा किमावेदितेन
यत् पाण्द्धपुत्रेषु जीवत्सु दूरमप्नोषितेष्वपि पाञ्चालराजतनया इमां दशा बहते।
Translation :-Or rather, what is the good of her communicating to us (the cause of her sadness), since the sons of Pandu living and not being absent abroad too, the Panchala princess continues in this wretched plight? (referring, specially, to her disordered hair, at which he is looking according to the stage direction.)
St, 19.अस्मिन् कौरव्यवंशदावे एष कः मुक्तवेण एनां कृष्णां धूमशिखामव स्पृशन् शलभायते ।
Translations :--Who is this, acting the part of a moth towards this conflagration for burning down the whole Kaurava ract, (namely, the speaker Bhima, himself,) by' touching this Draupadi with her unloosed braid of hair as by touching the dark line of smoke (proceeding from the conflagration) ?
Here रूपक and उपमा lie unhapply mixed up and thus somewhat obscure the meaning:
The idea, expressed in the form of a plain simile, is :-Who is this, courting death at my hands, (Bhima speaking of himself as a conflagration for burning down the whole Kaurava family,) by laying a violent hand on Draupadi with her unloosed braid of hair, just as a moth courts death in a conflagration by rashly flying into contact with the dark column of smoke rising from the conflagration ?
There is a pun on the word कृष्णा-it means Draupadi and means also dark qualifying धूमाशिखा.
हन्त, स्थानं क्रोधस्य देव्याः --0h ! that is a just ground of resentment for the Queen. Oh I well might the Queen resent this ; there is reason enough here for the Queen to be angry.
