Pandavas are insulted

Karna laughed and said to Duryodhana - Look at the Pandavas. These were the same ones who had laughed to you in Indraprastha. Today, they are the laughing stock. Now they are your slaves. As your slaves, they cannot sit where they are sitting now. They are slaves and they should be sitting with slaves. They should be assigned tasks like the other servants and slaves. Yudhistira should bear beetle nut. Bhima is strong and should be used to do heavy lifting jobs. Arjuna should be given the task of serving you as your personal servant. The sons of Madri should fan you. Draupadi should be made a maid.

Duryodhana laughed and told the Pandavas to go and sit with the other servants. Dusshasana pushed Yudhistira and told him to leave the royal seat and immediately go and take his due place. Bhima became angry. He picked up his mace but kept it down when he saw Yudhistira not showing encouragement. Arjuna also told him to calm down and not do anything rash.

The Pandavas took off their ornaments and went and sat on the floor with the other servants.

Duryodhana then asked Vidura to bring Draupadi in the hall.
