This request of Duryodhana appealed to his father, who invited Dharmaputra once again for a game of dice. Dharmaputra accepted the invitation, in fact, in spite of himself. This time too Duryodhana won the stake and the Pāṇḍavas set out to the forest. Even at the time of parting Duśśāsana insulted Bhīma who retorted thus: “You, mean fellows, you cheated my brother by foul play. If I fail to tear your heart open in fight and drink blood I do not want heaven. Moreover I will kill Duryodhana, and Arjuna will kill Karṇa. Śakuni, the expert in foul play in dice will be killed by Sahadeva. We will meet in the 14th year from today at the battlefield. Adieu.”
