Being taken up by Kali, the prince Nala lost at dice his gold and silver statues, his cars with their teams and also the valuable garments. The illustrious chastiser of the foes was maddened at the game, from which none of his friends could make him desist.
हिरण्यस्य सुवर्णस्य यानयुग्यस्य वाससाम्। आविष्टः कलिना द्यूते जीयते स्म नलस्तदा॥ तमक्षमदसम्मत्तं सुहृदां न तु कश्चन। निवारणेऽभवच्छतो दीव्यमानमरिदमम्॥
