SABHA PARVA
 
Vikarna (a son of Dhritarashtra)-
"Kauravas, what I think
 
right in
 
this matter, I shall speak: this irreproach-
able Draupadi is
 
to all
 
staked by
 
the Pandavas; she was
Yudhisthira, who himself had already been
won; and Draupadi was mentioned by
Sakuni who wanted her as the
wager;
considering all this, I think, she has not
been won."

On hearing this, great noise arose among
those assembled there, praising Vikarna and
condemning Sakuni.

When that noise had died down, Karna
said this: "Draupadi was mentioned by
name and she (as stake) was accepted by
the Pandavas; on what ground is she
viewed by you as not won?
