Shloka 2
Sabhā Parva, Adhyāya 68 — Pāṇḍavānāṃ Vanavāsa-prasthānaḥ; Duḥśāsana-nindā; Pāṇḍava-pratijñāḥ
काश्यो यद् धनमाहार्षीद् द्रव्यं यच्चान्यदुत्तमम् । तथान्ये पृथिवीपाला यानि रत्नान्युपाहरन्
kāśyo yad dhanam āhārṣīd dravyaṃ yac cānyad uttamam | tathānye pṛthivīpālā yāni ratnāny upāharan ||
毗摩说道：“迦尸王所献之财物，以及他奉上的一切上等珍宝；又有诸国君王进献的珠玉——这些连同我们的车乘、荣华、甲胄、兵器、国土，乃至你的自身与我们诸兄弟，都被仇敌逼迫在掷骰之局中押作赌注，尽数落入他们掌中。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical collapse caused by gambling and greed: even rightful gifts, royal wealth, and personal dignity can be treated as commodities when dharma is abandoned, leading to unjust domination by adversaries.
Bhīma recalls how the enemies, through the dice match, compelled the staking and loss of treasures and gifts brought by kings (including the king of Kāśī), framing the broader outrage that the Pandavas’ possessions and status were seized by deceitful play.
