About this item
As Duhsasana began to forcibly unwrap Draupadi's sari, she tried to hold on to it. But what could she do? She was a helpless woman, and Duhsasana was a powerful warrior. So she wept in despair and prayed to Krishna, "O Lord, please save my honor!" But she was still trying to save herself by holding on to her sari.
Then, realizing how impossible it was to save herself in this way, she let go and raised her arms in surrender: "My dear Lord Krishna, if You like You can save me or if You like You can let me be disgraced. The decision is in Your hands." Then the Lord responded to her prayers and supplied unlimited cloth for the sari. Duhsasana could not come to the end of it, and finally, with heaps of cloth stacked in the room, he became exhausted and realized that he would never see Draupadi naked.
