Your Highness
you have lost the independence
of your younger brothers, servants Nakul and Sahadev
in the game.
My darling, who will you bet now?
When there is a reduction in the opponent's property
playing the game becomes truly enjoyable.
However, when there is a reduction in his might
winning the game becomes a joyful experience!
Uncle
Arjun will be my servant now.
A person who is at par with Arjun...
Do you even have such a person with you, Duryodhan?
My friend
King Karna of Anga!
The son of a charioteer!
How is the son of a charioteer at par with a Prince?
Crown Prince Bheem!
Yes, I am the son of a charioteer
but abducting a woman
who is to be married to someone else
can be done only by ogres!
Friend Duryodhan, have you decided to bet me
against such an amoral person?
No, friend.
I have decided to make him your servant.
Friend Karna
will you give me the permission
to bet you in the game?
He shall indeed give you the permission!
King Karna of Anga
has even sold his soul to you!
On behalf of Emperor Yudhishthir
I bet myself in the game!
Dear, Crown Prince Duryodhan has bet
your husband in the game of dice being played.
Until now, he was an accessory to unrighteousness
but today
he is just a means.
Today, I am ashamed to call Karna
as my son.
Human beings are being treated like property
and being bet in the game of dice, father-in-law!
Yes, dear.
I got to know from the charioteer of the Crown Prince
that Duryodhan will enslave the five sons of Pandu.
And in the end, by enslaving the innocent daughter of Drupad
she will be subjected to insult.
Queen Mother.
Go on, Your Highness. Just four more points
and you will reach the castle square.
Uncle, my patience is giving in now.
Make haste in making Arjun my servant.
Your Highness, I say this with great grief
that another piece of yours has been captured.
You now have only one piece with you.
You need to save it.
Only then will Prince Arjun be safe.
Only twelve more points to win this.
Go on, my dice.
Prince Arjun has been
lost by the Emperor.
May the Emperor have happiness!
Friend Karna
I give you a servant as a present.
Arjun.
And Arjun, where is your bow?
What is it called again?
The Gandiva, brother Duryodhan.
I have heard that Agni Dev
had preyed upon the illusion of the Khandavprastha forest
and had used that illusion to make that bow, brother.
Give it to Karna.
