Sakuni invites Yudhishtira to play dice and Draupadi uproar...!

Episode#28

Back in Hastinapur, the Kaurava as were dismayed at witnessing the glory of Pandavas! Sakuni planned a dice game wherein the dices were especially made from Jarasandha bones and played to his tunes. Yudhishtira loved playing dice but was not very proficient and was easily defeated by the deceitful Sakuni. The Pandavas lost everything they possessed including their wife Draupadi.

Duryodhana laughed cruelly and ordered Dusshasana to drag Draupadi to the Dice hall, when Dusshasana crashed into her room, Draupadi was clad in a single clothe; he grabbed her by her loose hair and dragged her to Dice Hall, she tried to wrench free and run away, but she could not and he threw her on the floor in the presence of Dhritarashtra, Bhisma Pitamah, Drona, Kripa, Vidura, and Karna!

She wiped her tears, arranged her clothes, brace herself and like a wounded tigress, she stood up, held her head high and said vehemently, "I am the daughter of King Drupada and daughter-in-law of renowned king Pandu! I am married to the Pandavas who are powerful warriors, I am a mother of their sons, and how can you treat me like a maid?" with a harden face, her harsh words spread across the hall "If Yudhishtira had lost himself first, how could he offer me on stake?" That was the valid point and no one replied...!

She screamed  "Is this what you call as righteousness?" Is this a justice? If it does not exist here, this court ceases to stand for morality, for lawfulness! It is run by None other than a gang of rascals!" But no one came for her rescue; they sat with lowered eyes like a dead men without life, without sound or a whisper, only Vikarana the Kuru prince objected to this outrageous statement but being one of the Duryodhana younger brother, it fell on deaf ears.

Duryodhana shouted with full sarcasm "From now on Pandavas are our slaves, I command to forfeit whatever they possess and disrobe Draupadi."

During his breath, a voice was heard to say: "This prince will attain great glory in the happy regions above after being slain in the battle. One who, among the warriors of all ages, ranks among the most illustrious, will in the field of battle shall get his head severed from the body." All living beings must die but truth is always bitter! Vriddhakshatra was grieved to hear the voice declare his son's end.

When Jayadratha grew up to his manhood, Vriddhakshatra handed over the state ...

She could not bear the heart-rending cries of all the mothers and widows; the air was filled with loud wailings! Gandhari was helpless and could find no way to console them. Seeing their intense grief, Gandhari forgot her own sorrow that all her hundred sons were killed by Bhima in the war - but after a while the nightmare memories struck her worse than a thunderbolt could have and she wept bitterly again.  She blamed Vasudev Krishna repeatedly for the total destruction of the Kuru race.
