country, and the Kekayas, who were all devoted to the Pandavas.
They were filled with righteous indignation when they heard of Duryodhanas perfidy and cried
out that surely the earth would drink the blood of such wicked people. Draupadi approached
Sri Krishna and, in a voice drowned in tears and broken with sobs, told the story of her
wrongs.
She said: I was dragged to the assembly when I had but a single garment on my body. The sons
of Dhritarashtra insulted me most outrageously and gloated over my agony. They thought
that I had become their slave and accosted me and treated me as one. Even Bhishma and
Dhritarashtra forgot my birth and breeding and my relationship to them. O Janardhana, even
my husbands did not protect me from the jeers and the ribald insults of those foul ruffians.
Bhimas bodily strength and Arjunas Gandiva were alike of no avaiI. Under such supreme
provocation even weaklings would have found strength and courage to strike the vile insulter
dead. The Pandavas are renowned heroes and yet Duryodhana lives! I, the daughter-in-law
of the emperor Pandu, was dragged by my hair. I, the wife of five heroes, was dishonoured.
O Madhusudana, even you had deserted me. She stood trembling, utterly unable to continue,
for the grief convulsed her.
Krishna was deeply moved and he consoled the weeping Draupadi. He said: Those who
tormented you will be stricken to death in the bloody quagmire of a lost battle. Wipe your
eyes. I solemnly promise that your grievous wrongs shall be amply avenged. I shall help the
Pandavas in every way. You will become an empress. The heavens may fall, the Himalayas
may split in twain, the earth may crumble or the boundless sea may dry up but, I tell you
verily, my words shall stand. swear this, and Krishna took a solemn vow before Draupadi.
This vow, it will be seen, was in perfect accord with the purpose of the Lords avatars, as
declared in scriptures: For protecting the righteous, for destroying the wicked and for firmly
upholding the law, I am born on earth age after age.

Dhrishtadyumna also consoled his sister and told her how nemesis would overtake the Kauravas.
He said: I will kill Drona. Shikhandi will cause Bhishmas fall. Bhima will take the lives of
the wicked Duryodhana and his brothers. Arjuna will slay Karna, the charioteers son.
Sri Krishna said: When this calamity befell you, I was not in Dwaraka. Had I been there, I
would never have allowed this fraudulent game of dice to take place. Uninvited, I would
have gone there and stirred up Drona, Kripa and the other elders to a sense of duty. I would,
at all costs, have prevented this destructive play of dice. When Sakuni was cheating vou. I
was fighting King Salva, who had besieged my city. It was only after I had defeated him that
I came to know of the game of dice and the subsequent sordid story. It grieves me that I am
not able to remove your sorrows immediately but you know, some water must be lost before
a broken dam is restored.
91. Why was Krishna unable to prevent the destructive game of dice?
1) Because he himself was fond of dicing
2) Because he wanted the Pandavas to be robbed of their property.

4) Because he was fighting king Salva, who had besieged his city, when she was being
cheated by Sakuni
5) None of these
92. Why did the sons of Dhritarashtra insult Draupadi?

4) Because Draupadi had abused Dhritarashtra.
5) None of these

93. Why were Draupadis husbands helpless to protect her from the insults of wicked sons of
Dhritarashtra?
1) Because they were enjoying Draupadi being dragged into and insulted in the court.
2) Because they were turned into slaves and had no right before their masters to interfere
with them.
3) Because Draupadis husbands were disrobed of their clothes and were more concerned
about hiding their nudity.
4) Because the Pandavas had no weapons with them to protect Draupadi.
5) None of these
94. What was Krishnas vow to Draupadi?
1) That he will punish the Pandavas for not protecting Draupadi.
2) That he will kill Dhritarashtra for just sitting and watching the sorrows inflicted on Draupadi
like a mute spectator.
3) That he will help Pandavas to avenge the Kauravas.
4) That he will destroy the whole Bharata race.

is not true.
19. 2;B D... (i); D < T ... (ii); T R... (iii)

conclusion I is not true.

20. 4;M N... (i); N < A... (ii); A > B ...(iii)
From (ii) and (iii), N < A > B No relationship between N and B can be determined. Hence
conclusion I is not true. Again, from (i) and (ii), M N < A. No relationship between M
