Why did Yuddishtir... - Page 2

😆😆😆

I understand that Duryodhan hated Draupadi for what happened in the Maya Sabha, and they suggested Draupadi.

But it's weird that the game ended there and they didn't go further and make servants of the rest of the wives, etc.

Perhaps as Srishtisingh said, the wives had automatically become slaves as well.

The reason Draupadi was staked was not because Yudhisthir randomly chose her over his other wives. Shakuni told him to stake her. It was pre-decided by Duryodhan that Draupadi would be staked so that he could get his revenge on her for laughing at him in the maya sabha at Indraprastha.

Vaisampayana continued,--"Having said this, Sakuni, well-skilled at dice, spoke unto all the brave kings present there of his having won, one after another, all the Pandavas. The son of Suvala then, addressing Yudhishthira said,--'O king, there is still one stake dear to thee that is still unwon. Stake thou Krishna, the princess of Panchala. By her, win thyself back.'

Also weird to think:

When people like Dhuryodhan witnessed the miracle in the sabha when they couldn't take Draupadi's sari off, how come they weren't humbled?

Normal men would actually take this as a sign that they're not all powerful! They couldn't strip a woman of her sari, let alone win a war!

it means dury hit his head hard in "bachpan",n had lost all his logic 😛

We can imagine the pursuasive power of Shakuni😉If he can manipulate Dharmraj to stake Draupadi then why blame Duryodhana. He did not stand a chance, being an evil mind himself, against Shakuni.😆

Why did Yuddishtir gamble Draupadi (who belonged to all five Pandavs) and not Devika, the wife who was solely his?

Surely if Yuddishtir still had sons and wives, this game would not have ended at Draupadi? (Or Draupadi wouldn't have been staked as she was a mutual wife)?
