27. & 28. When the marriage was over, Kalinga and other kings, full of insolence, advised Rukmin to overthrow Balarama in a game at dice: for they told him, "though Bala is ignorant of it, O king, great is Balaram's passion for it." Thus advised, he invited Balarama and with him played at dice.

ity ukto balam āhūya tenākṣair rukmy adīvyata //

For he is no expert at dice, O King, yet he has a great addiction to it.' / Addressed thus, Rukmin invited Bala and played at dice with him.
