Droṇa’s Ācārya-Dakṣiṇā: Capture of Drupada and Division of Pāñcāla (द्रोण-आचार्यदक्षिणा)
स्वयं प्रक्षिपते भक्ष्यं बहु भीमस्य पापकृत् प्रतीच्छितं सम भीमेन त॑ं वै दोषमजानता
vaiśampāyana uvāca | svayaṃ prakṣipate bhakṣyaṃ bahu bhīmasya pāpakṛt pratīcchitaṃ sama bhīmena taṃ vai doṣam ajānatā |
Si pelaku dosa itu sendiri terus menyuapkan banyak makanan kepada Bhīma. Bhīma, tidak mengetahui cacat tersembunyi pada santapan itu, menerimanya sebagaimana disodorkan dan memakannya habis.

Educational Q&A

Duryodhana deceitfully serves Bhīma abundant food containing a hidden दोष (harm/poison). Bhīma, unaware, eats it all, while Duryodhana inwardly exults, believing his plot is working.
