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.
