Bhishma said Yudhistira had lost himself first and then played Draupadi and lost her. Also, Draupadi was not his wife alone, but the wife of the five brothers, so Yudhistira alone could not take a decision about Draupadi. All I can tell you is this. I have no other answer or solution.
Bhima said to Yudhistira - Have you ever seen one's wife being put at stake. There are many gamblers that I have seen, but none have put their women as stake, in their game.We are your brothers and you had right to all of us, but how could you put Draupadi there and now see her condition.
Arjuna said Do not say such things. You are playing the game the enemy wants. They want us to fight here, among ourselves and you are doing just that. The king did not want to play the game in the first place.
Bhima said he was not able to stand this insult and he would like to cut off his hands as he was not being allowed to use them.
Vikarna saw and heard all this. He was a son of Dhritarashtra and a brother of Duryodhana. He shouted - In this assembly, there are many elders. Why are they all quiet. Why are people like Bhishma, Vidura and Dhritarashtra all quiet. Why don't they reply back to Draupadi. Who are you scared off? Time and again Draupadi asks for an answer, but why are you quiet.
All were quiet and no one had an answer.
He said again - 'Is there reason why you do not have an answer? If no one will say a word, let me say something. Shakuni tricked Yudhistira into pawning Draupadi. As Yudhistora had lost himself first, what right did anyone have to ask for Draupadi then? '
Hearing the words of Vikarna, many said this was correct.
Karna said ' Vikarna is talking too much. He deserves death. This child is talking like a big man. Yudhistira gave everything of his away in the game of dice. Draupadi was also a part of everything. Also Draupadi said she was clad in only one garment. So, how many garments does a maid need? Draupadi is like a prostitute. In this world, a woman can have only one husband and Draupadi has five husbands so what else will you call her. '
Duryodhana said 'Vikarna is young and he does not know what is saying.' To Dushasana, he said 'Fetch the clothes and jewels of the Pandavas and Draupadi'. The Pandavas took off their clothes and jewels and gave them to Dushasana. Dushasana then started pulling the garment of Draupadi.
