দ্রৌপদীরে লজ্জা হৈতে মুঞি উদ্ধারি লুঙ্জৌ-গৃহে মুঞি পঞ্চ-পাণ্ডবে রাখিলুঙ্ ॥ ২৫৬ ॥

draupadīre lajjā haite muñi uddhāri luṅjau-gṛhe muñi pañca-pāṇḍave rākhiluṅ || 256 ||

draupadire lajja haite muni uddhari lunjau-grhe muni panca-pandave rakhilun (256)

English translation:

(256) “I delivered Draupadī from being dishonored, and I protected the five Pāṇḍavas from the house of lac.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The phrase jau-gṛhe refers to the house of lac.

One should refer to the Mahābhārata, Sabhā-parva, Chapter Sixty-six, for a description of how Draupadī was saved from embarrassment.

The description of how Kṛṣṇa protected the five Pāṇḍavas from the house of lac is found in the Mahābhārata, Ādi-parva, Chapters 141-149.
