Bhimasena and Duhshasana

Shakuni has already won Yudhishthira's wealth. He asks if the Pandava has anything left to gamble. Compelled by the game, Yudhishthira begins to stake what remains: his kingdom, his brothers, himself, and finally his wife Draupadi. Each time, Shakuni casts the dice and declares victory.

When the attendant is too afraid to lay hands on Draupadi, Duryodhana orders his brother Duhshasana to bring her by force. Duhshasana grabs her by her long, blue hair—hair once sanctified at a royal sacrifice—and drags her into the sabha as she protests her state and her dignity.

As Duhshasana tries to strip Draupadi, a miracle preserves her modesty — and Bhima finds his voice. Kneading his hands, trembling with rage, he swears an oath so terrible it delights the heavens: to tear open Duhshasana’s chest and drink his blood.

Enraged by Vikarna’s defense and the assembly’s approval, Karna delivers a brutal rebuttal. He declares Draupadi lawfully won and, because she has five husbands, a courtesan. He orders Duhshasana to strip the Pandavas and Draupadi.

Provoked by Duhshasana's mockery and Duryodhana's cruel imitation of his walk, Bhima publicly swears to kill Duryodhana with a club, drink Duhshasana's blood, and assigns the deaths of Karna and Shakuni to his brothers.

As the defeated Pandavas dress in deerskins for exile, Duhshasana publicly taunts them for their poverty and urges Draupadi to abandon her impotent husbands and choose a new one from among the prosperous Kurus.
