When the Pāṇḍavas lost their wife Draupadī in gambling with Dur-yodhana, Duh-sāsana dragged her forward by the hair and otherwise ill-used her. For this outrage Bhīma vowed he would drink his blood, a vow which he afterwards performed on the sixteenth day of the great battle. - [Previous: c5.529](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.529) - [Next: c5.531](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.531) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.530](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.530) · Pramāṇa
