Duryodhana said The dice has been created and used by the men of ancient time. There is neither destruction nor striking with weapons in it. Therefore, let the counsel of Shakuni be accepted by you today. Let your commands be soon issued for the construction of the Assembly-hall.
दुर्योधन उवाच स्तत्रात्ययो नास्ति न सम्प्रहारः। तद् रोचतां शकुनेर्वाक्यमद्य सभां क्षिप्रं त्वमिहाज्ञापयस्व॥
