ਪੰਚਾਲੀ ਕਉ ਰਾਜ ਸਭਾ ਮਹਿ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮ ਸੁਧਿ ਆਈ ॥
panchaalee ka-o raaj sabhaa meh raam naam suDh aa-ee.
Dropadi the princess of Panchaala remembered the Lord's Name in the royal court.
ਤਾ ਕੋ ਦੂਖੁ ਹਰਿਓ ਕਰੁਣਾ ਮੈ ਅਪਨੀ ਪੈਜ ਬਢਾਈ ॥੧॥
taa ko dookh hari-o karunaa mai apnee paij badhaa-ee. ||1||
The Lord, the embodiment of mercy, removed her suffering; thus His own glory was increased. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When someone stood in a crowded room, frightened and alone, she turned her whole heart to the One and asked for help.
And help came. The One who is made of mercy lifted her trouble clean away. Whenever love like that answers a cry, its kindness only shines the brighter.
A sincere cry for help is never too small to be heard.
Draupadi, remembered as the princess of Panchaala, calls on the Name in the royal court and is protected. The emphasis falls on the divine as karunaa-mai, the One made of mercy, standing beside the vulnerable. At the heart of the old story: a sincere cry is heard.
