Shakuni said. O son of Pandu, we have many kine and horse and milch cows and innumerable goats and sheep and elephants, treasures, gold and servants, both male and female. All these have been staked by us before. But now let this be our stake, namely exile into forest (for twelve years) and then living in the thirteenth year unrecognised in an inhabited place. O foremost of men, with this stake let us (now ) play.
शकुनिरुवाच गवावं बहुधेनूकमपर्यन्तमजाविकम्। गजाः कोशो हिरण्यं च दासीदासाश्च सर्वशः॥ एष नो ग्लह एवैको वनवासाय पाण्डवाः। यूयं वयं वा विजिता वसेम वनमाश्रिताः॥ त्रयोदशं च वै वर्षमज्ञाताः सजने तथा। अनेन व्यवसायेन दीव्याम पुरुषर्षभाः॥
