Krishna and Dhrishtadyumna Console Draupadi
Draupadi weeps and covers her face, declaring that her grief over Karna's laughter will never be pacified. Krishna swears that the wives of her enemies will weep as she has wept, and that she will be queen of kings — a promise that cannot be falsified even if the heavens fall. Dhrishtadyumna then declares the specific fates of Drona, Bhishma, Duryodhana, and Karna.
Draupadi wept and covered her face in her hands, soft as the bud of a lotus. On her upraised, full and well-formed breasts, marked with all the auspicious marks, she showered teardrops of grief. She wiped her eyes and sighed repeatedly. In a voice choked with tears, she spoke: "My grief that Karna laughed at me then will never be pacified."
Krishna spoke to her in that assembly of warriors.
"O beautiful one! The wives of those who have angered you will weep like this. They will see the dead bodies lying on the ground, bereft of life. Their bodies will be covered with Bibhatsu's arrows and will be drenched with blood. Do not sorrow. I will do whatever the Pandavas can do. I will make you a promise. You will be the queen of kings. The heavens may fall, the Himalayas may be rent asunder, the earth may splinter, and the ocean may dry up. O Krishna! But my words will not be falsified."
Then Dhrishtadyumna spoke. "I will kill Drona. Shikhandi will kill the grandfather. Bhimasena will kill Duryodhana. Dhananjaya will kill Karna. O sweet-smiling one! With the aid of Rama and Krishna, we are invincible in battle even with the slayer of Vritra, not to speak of Dhritarashtra's sons."
When these words were uttered, all the warriors looked towards Vasudeva. In their midst, the mighty-armed Keshava spoke. Aranyaka Parva, Chapter 310
