Let's examine a significant incident from the Mahabharata. Within the context of the protracted conflict between the Kauravas and the Pandavas, a pivotal episode unfolded when Duryodhana invited Yudhisthira to engage in a game of dice. In this encounter, Yudhisthira, ensnared by his adversary's deceitful tactics, wagered his wealth, elephants, chariots, servants, military forces, treasury, kingdom, the well-being of his subjects, his own kin, and ultimately even himself, only to lose all his stakes. In a grievous turn of events, Yudhisthira then staked his shared wife, Draupadi, and unfortunately lost her as well. |
What was the condition on which Yudhisthira agreed to marry Bhim to Hidimba? |
They would spend the day together but Bhima would return every night. They would spend the night together but Bhima would return every morning. They would spend the rest of their life as celibates. None of the above. |
