Thanks a lot Vrish & Surya

In promo of Shakuni they have shown that he made dice from his father's borne after King Subal's death.

Is this right?Will they show this sequence in show?

Till the time,he must be dead now...!!Isn't It??

I once read one account that said that Shakuni made his dice out of the bones of rakshashas/people that Bhima had killed - Hidimba, Bakasura, Jarasandha & one more guy. Those dice therefore worked to the detriment of the Pandavas.

I too remember reading that Shakuni made his dice using his father's bones- thigh bone - to be precise.

Quite cannibalistic.

@maha2us Nice Theory, although I have a different one. By the devas, we refer to those beings who control the forces of nature. Correct? SO, we technically cannot bind them with curses, same as we cannot bind the nature. SO, when Mandavya Munivar cursed Yama, Yama had to accept, but that doesn't mean he himself has to take incarnation. The curse was that since Yama had done an injustice, he had to suffer injustice himself. It did not refer to his whole being as being stipulated to human birth (as per my knowledge). So Yama would have taken an amsavatara ie. a mere essence of his powers would have incarnated as Vidura, not the whole. You getting me? @Vrish, hope you too getting me.😊

So what exactly is bound by a curse because we see some curses manifesting in "other births".can it be said that the soul is cursed to be reborn but isnt the soul supposed to be indestructible by fire, wind sword etc. So what is it that gets cursed and re born to fulfill that curse or in other words what is it that is subjected to karma?

While soul is indestructible by the five elements, it does get bound by Karma.

Somehow I think the sequence is off in the current series. Shakuni was very upset that his sister was married a blind king and their father having been forced to marry of his beloved daughter had caused him a lot of heatache which destroyed his health and he died...shakuni felt the loss very deeply and he felt insulted and helpless and that is why he swore revenge to destroy the whole Kuru clan...and he wanted his dad's blessings to be able to do so thats when he created dice from his fathers bone - he knew that going to war he would not win so he set out to destroy them from inside by playing games with them and using their own weapon against them so they would be helpless just like his family was and detroy their own...although he held some affection for Duryodhana and his brothers...his desire for revenge was more powerful
