Duryodhana said to Vidura - Yudhistira has lost Draupadi in the game. Go to Indraprastha. Give her the news. Tell her to come here.
Vidura said - Be careful of the words you use. Do not say just what you feel like. Also, what right did Yudhistira have to play Draupadi, when he had lost himself already. Ask the elders prsent here. See what they say. Ask your father, whose greed seems to show in his face. You act like the bamboo plant which flowers before it is about to die. The gourd will always float on water when it is ripe and a stone will always sink. That is their nature. The Pandavas are quiet because it is in their nature. I had advised many times, to stop the game but it was never listened to.
Duryodhana then called a servant and said Do not fear the Pandavas and Vidura. Go and fetch Draupadi.
The servant went to Indraprastha, and went to Draupadi. With folded hands he told her what had happened. She said first go and ask if Yudhistira had lost himself first or had he lost her first. If he had lost himself first, how could he put her at stake. If there was an answer, she would herself come and talk in the assembly hall there.
Duryodhana , thinking the servant had not said anything to her, said Go and bring her here and tell her to ask her questions in front of all.
The servant went back to her and she sent him back saying if she went into the assembly hall , it would bring downfall of the dynasty.
The servant went back to Duryodhana, who told her to not to listen to anything that Draupadi said but to bring her here. The servant said what would he do if Draupadi refused to come.
Duryodhana then called Dushasana and said the servant would not be able to do anything. You go and fetch Draupadi.
Draupadi saw Dushasana coming and she went and hid in the inner quarters of the women. Dushasana tried to enter but was stopped by Kunti who wanted to know why he had come there.
Dushasana pushed Kunti aside and dragged Draupadi by her hair and started pulling her. He pulled the screaming Draupadi on a chariot and brought her swiftly to Hastinapura.
Draupadi said she was having her periods and was in a single garment and it was not proper for her to go to the court like this. Dushasana said he did not care about that.
Draupadi said how would she stand in front of the elders in that way.
Dushasana dragged her by her hair. On the floor, Draupadi wanted to grab onto something on the floor, but was unable to do so. She saw all the Kuru elders there, standing quietly.
Karna and Shakuni said get the maid in, and Dushsana, dragging Draupadi by her hair, brought her in the center of the assembly hall.
