My lord, do not make the wife of Dronācārya cry like me. I am aggrieved for the death of my sons. She need not cry constantly like me.
PURPORT
Sympathetic good lady as she was, Śrīmatī Draupadī did not want to put the wife of Dronācārya in the same position of childlessness, both from the point of motherly feelings and from the respectable position held by the wife of Dronācārya.
