Vaishampayana said: When the high-souled Krishna said this in the midst of that assembly of the heroic kings, who were all excited with anger. The Panchala princess (Draupadi), surrounded by Dhristadyumna and her other heroic brothers, came to the lotus-eyed one (Krishna) who was seated with his cousins. Desirous of getting protection, she spoke thus to the refuge of all (Krishna) in angry words.
