In Hastinapur,
Pandavas with draupadi reached Hastinapur today because they got invitation of dyut few days ago. The invitation was from Dhritarashtra king of Hastinapur and more ove their Tatshree. As as puppets of Dharm Yudhishthir accepted the invitation because a kshatriya can't say no to either war or Dyut invitation. Vidhur who came with invitation tried to warn yudhishthir to decline the invitation but he didn't listen. After losing the war Yudhishthir became so stubborn on his Dharm that no one could waver from what he perceived as Dharm. When they came here they were welcomed by everyone in the palace.
Bheeshma was extremely worried when he saw them here so he immediately sent letter of his foreboding to Karna. He like Sahdev never forgot of curses of Radha, he feared that this might be the opportunity that niyati was waiting to let it happen. He only hoped that Karna could salvage the situation from becoming the worst. He knew Shakuni would surely participate in this, dyut few s what Shakuni loves and this fact was not hidden from anyone. So once he got to know about invitation the smell of conspiracy was very strong so, he tried to warn Pandavas with Vidhur but all efforts were in vain, Yudhishthir Still came. He thought he would listen to Vidhur but he came with Vidhur which left him no time to prepare any counter measure.
Pandavas and Draupadi spent some time with Kunti first. Though they talked about general things and Kunti too didn't want to comment on war as after seeing her children she can gauge the mental disturbance of them. After some time Pandavas left for Sabha leaving Kunti and Draupadi alone in the chamber. Kunti and Draupadi talked and after some time Kunti to left for her prayers leaving Draupadi alone in the room. Draupadi who was burdened emotionally and physically was happy to get some quiet and peace for herself. These few months were extremely stressful for her. She showed strong side in front of her husbands. She did her all duties even it was several times harder than before. She saw how mentally and emotionally vulnerable her husbands were and for them she stayed strong but she too was human and nearly reached her limits in last seven years. But like always she blamed it on one person she hates most in the world. She was extremely tired so she quiet sat there enjoying the peace.
Pandavas who went to sabha were warmly welcomed and various functions were performed for their entertainment. The atmosphere of sabha turned joyful. After the prefunctionary performances, Duryodhana invited Yudhishthir for main event the Dyut whic was accepted by Yudhishthir. Then a stage for Dyut was prepared. Both yudhishthir and Duryodhana sat across each other. Duryodhana then told Yudhishthir that Mamashree Shakuni will be his representative in the game which again Yudhishthir accepted and he said he will play for himself. Dyut was one of pleasure of Yudhishthir, he loved the game. The thrill of winning gave him adrenaline rush and especially after losing the war his hunger for win anything was extreme. He knew Shakuni was also expert of Dyut but he was confident he would win.
Seeing his all doubt and foreboding coming true Bheeshma was extremely worried. The game stated and some wealth was gambled first in some Duryodhana won and in some Yudhishthir won, Shakuni expertly control his dices so that Yudhishthir was thoroughly engaged and engrossed in the game. He enjoyed his frustration on loss and eagerness to win. Game countinued like this but after sometime true plan Shakuni master plan began. Yudhishthir stated loosing badly but once in while Shakuni let him win to keep his hopes high. Yudhishthir keep loosing his possession but his craze to win wasn't stopping so he stated betting everything he have, first he betted horses, elephant, and wealth of Indraprastha and lost. Then in his madness he began betting his army. Bheeshma interjected but Yudhishthir didn't listen, seeing Bheeshma interrupt the game Shakuni immediately pleaded Dhritarashtra that nobody should disturb the game. Being involved in the plan Dhritarashtra of course knew how to control all the variables so he immediately ordered as King of Hastinapur that noone will interfere any further and remain silent.
The game continued yudhishthir lost everything, his army, Kingdom, Its wealth, his subjects , his title as Samrat everything. Rest Pandavas were stressed but they still kept quiet. In his madness Yudhishthir to win everything back he didn't stop there and then next round he bet Sahdev. This caused grasp in the Sabha. Even the rest Pandavas were shocked, the mastermind of everything Duryodhana, Shakuni and Dhritrashtra smiled viciously. Then he lost Duryodhana ordered Sahdev to remove his jwellery and crown, give up weapon and kneel behind yudhishthir. Sahdev who knew That niyati is playing her part and curse of Radha is happening didn't resist but he surrendered to his and his family's fate. Yudhishthir who was shocked by his loss knew the die uas been cast and now he can't stop. rest Pandavas too never stopped Yudhishthir became he was eldest and it was their dharm to follow him. He then better Nakul and again lost. Nakul too came besides Sahdev and knelt, then it was Arjun's turn but Duryodhana asked him to give his Gandiv to Ashwatthama. Arjun begrudgingly lifted his bow to give it Ashwatthama, Ashwatthama who was already greedy for gandiv tried to take but but he wasn't able to. To lift Gandiv you need have utmost love for archery but Ashwatthama loved his life more than anything so he wasn't able to lift it. Seeing thin Duryodhana asked him to leave it on ground and come and kneel beside Nakul. Then it was Bheem's turn to join his three brothers. At last yudhishthir lost himself too. Dronacharya, Bheeshma, Vidhur, kripacharya who were watching all this were agast but being bound to throne of Hastinapur they could protest or do something. They thought this madness will be over but to their utter believe and shock Yudhishthir asked for one last round he said if he win this he would gain everything back but Duryodhana asked him what if he lose and what is wager of the bet. Yudhishthir then said Draupadi shocking entire Sabha even Shakuni and Duryodhana. Duryodhana has planned to lure Yudhishthir to this but he didn't expected Yudhishthir himself will take the initiative.
Sahdev who kept Maun for more than 22 years couldn't keep it any longer.
Sahdev : Jyeshtha, what are saying and doing. You have already lost everything and Draupadi isn't any commodity to gamble upon. You have lost us already please let her be. Don't do this Jyeshtha, please.
Yudhishthir : Sahdev, I am doing because I have lost everything, don't you see I need to win back everything for that I need chance. If I win this round then we can have everything back.
Sahdev : Jyeshtha, please don't do this. It is not Right. Plese Jyeshtha.
Yudhishthir : Silence Sahdev, I know what I am doing.
Bheem : Sahdev keep quiet, it is our dharm to follow Jyeshtha.
Arjun : Bhrata Bheem, is right Sahdev. We are his younger brother and we have to follow and do what he say. It is our dharm.
Nakul : Sahdev you have kept Maun fo so many years be quiet even for now.
Bheeshma, Vidhur, Dronacharya couldn't believe what is happening. Were they still the Pandavas they know if so then why before today they haven't seen their this side. Duryodhana who was enjoying every decided to play hard. He immediately scoffed and said how could Draupadi be compared to everything he won. Under disbelief of everyone Yudhishthir then tried to convince him. Yudhishthir bragged about her beauty and about everything. In the end Duryodhana decided to play. Like before yudhishthir lost. At this Duryodhana told him also to and kneel beside his brothers. Then Duryodhana took his sweet time to insult them. He made sure that they Devputras are now mere slaves to a bad omen. They are nothing now. He made them serve drinks to everyone in sabha, everyone means even the servant and maid present there. He countinued humiliating them in each and every step. Not only that he made them wash the feet of everyone present there. Pandavas have to do every thing he ordered, they felt that now death would be relif for them. They never thought their own Tatshree would plot against them and even with presence of pitamah and gurudev they would have to face this. Kauravas were laughing at them with Shakuni and Dhritrashtra. The other elders were looking them with Disappointment and sadness. After that Duryodhana told them to return to their place and kneel down again.
Everyone thought that now Duryodhana would be satisfied and the dreadful situation will come to end but Duryodhana proved how wrong they were. After Pandavas knelt Duryodhana asked Dussashan to bring dasi Draupadi in the Sabha as she with her husbands needed to learn his place. Bheeshma shouted that she isn't dasi but kulvadhu of their vansh and he wouldn't allow if she got involved in this. He told Duryodhana that he has already won and Pandavas lost everything there is no need to extend this any further. Dronacharya too said Draupadi is like daughter to him being daughter of his friends Drupad and he too wouldn't allow her being insulted. In their response Duryodhana asked them what wrong he was doing. Her husband willing gambled her and lost. She is now his dasi. He then asked Dhritarashtra that was it wrong to call a dasi to serve him. Dhritrashtra said no and ordered everyone to not interfere. Everyone became helpless the elders were bound by their oath to throne while Pandavas were reduced to mere slaves of Duryodhana. According to them they all were bound by their dharm and was following it. Dussashan was again ordered and went to bring Draupadi to Sabha.
Draupadi who was resting has already removed most of her jwellery. She was wearing her chudamani, nathni, some loks ght jwellery. He chudamani was especial it was given to her by her best friend krishna. It has six stone embedded in in it. Five was of simmilar size and blue in colour. They were alignment horizontally while sixth gem was inverted before it. For her five stones were her husband and sixth one was her. She was resting in a n peace she was remembering all the happy times she spent she spent with her husbands and how have time changed it. She knew she was still important to them but their love has now decreased and distributed except Sahdev. She was in ther thoughts when suddenly Dussashan entered the chamber.
Dussashan : Dasi draupadi, come your presence is ordered in Sabha.
Draupadi : Dasi? Dussashan I am Samragi.
Dussashan : Not anymore, come to Sabha with me and you will understand your situation.
Draupadi : I am not going anywhere, how dare you to even enter the chamber. I will my husbands they will not let you alive.
Dussashan (laughed) : Husbands, they are mere slaves. For the last time I am telling you to peaceful come with me.
Draupadi still declined, Dussashan then got angered and slapped her. He face has a plam print and blood was flowing from her lips. She still resisted as much as could but at last Dussashan clutched her hair and start dragging her. He dragged her to court and threw her to ground which led to her having bruised in her forehead. Everyone was shocked seeing her like that. She seems slapped and blood was there on her lips. Seeing this Sahdev immediately got up to go near her after calling her name but Ashwatthama shot a Nagpas and bound him before he could take couple of steps. He fell on the ground. Draupadi too was shocked the entire Sabha. Duryodhana and Shakuni were laughing, elders bowed her heads down and were ashamed. Maharaj seems enjoying and her husband four were kneeling on the ground and fifth one who tried to come to her was laying on the ground being tied up. She for ther first time herad him calling her name but pain and anger in his voice was very clear. She couldn't understand what was going on.
Seeing her confusion, Duryodhana laughingly told her everything. Draupadi couldn't believe what has happened, her five mighty husband became slaves. Her eldest husband the Dharmraj gambled her and lost so she is nothing but dasi now and other husband except Sahdev support him. The betrayal she felt just now was something she never thought was even possible. What has she didn't do for them. For them she she even shared herself, she sacrificed her reputation even the she never wavered from her duties. She did hard penance so that she will remain pure. And after everything she was still nothing more than commodity for them. She came out of her thoughts hearing Duryodhana calling her name. She then looked towards him. Duryodhana then insulted her he questioned her character, called her prostitute, whore, slut and whatnot but what she couldn't believe that nobody stopped him. She was daughter in law of Hastinapur too. Ashwatthama too joined Duryodhana and called her characterless. Duryodhana then told her she has stripped him of his honour and dignity at Indraprastha so he will return the favor. He told Dussashan to disrobe her in front of everyone. Vikarn and yuyutsu who was silent till now couldn't kee silent and decided to try and stop this. They told Duryodhana that draupadi was their sister in law disrobing her was not right, he could get his revenge by asking her to wash his feet but this was going too far. Duryodhana silenced them. Draupadi the asked her husbands to save her and rescue her from this, Only Sahdev was screaming and struggling to help her. Other Pandavas were kneeling and crying at what was happening. Draupadi was scared and she went to every elder and begged them to help her but she got same reply their are bound by their oath and dharm. In the end she knew begging to them was useless. So she stopped and folded her hands to ask help from her best friend krishna, she knew he was divine and now only he could help her. Seeing he Stop Dussashan went to her and grabbed her saree's corner and he was pulled it, Draupadi blouse was now visible to all, Dussashan the decided to pull further but before he could do that an arrow came and pieced his arms and a Angry voice reverberated in Sabha
“What the hell is happening here.”
