The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa Translated into English Prose, Vana Parva, Part 2

Note 42 — SECTION CCCXIII

Kisari Mohan Ganguli translation

Footnote 42:(return) The word in the text is "Agrahara," which, as Nilakantha explains, means here, "That which is first taken from a heap after the dedication of a portion to the Viswadevas." What Draupadi means to say is, that she always took care to feed those Brahmanas with food "first" taken from the stores, without, in fact, having taken anything there from the use of anybody else.
