THE MAHABHARATA
"If you are defeated by us, you shall,
along with Draupadi, live in the forests
for twelve years, clad in deerskin; also
the whole of the thirteenth year, unknown
to your kinsmen; and if you are discovered
you shall live in the forests for another
twelve years.
" With this resolve, play again, you scion
of Bharata."
एवं दैवबलाविष्टो धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः ।
भीष्मद्रोणाचार्यमाणो विदुरेण च धीमता ।
गान्धार्या पृथया चैव द्रौपद्या द्रौणिना तथा ।
वार्यमाणोऽपि सततं शकुनिं प्रत्यभाषत ।
एवं भवत्विति तदा ग्लहं जग्राह सौबलः ।
जितमित्येव शकुनिर्युधिष्ठिरमभाषत ॥
Possessed thus by the power of Fate,
Yudhisthira, though incessantly prevented
by Bhishma, Drona, the wise Vidura,
Gandhari, Kunti, Draupadi and Asvatthaman,
replied to Sakuni: "Be it so. At that
time, Sakuni took the dice and simply
told Yudhisthira : "Won."
