'Meanwhile the Chieftain Vidura had left the assembly, and told the
blind Maharaja Dhritarashtra all that had taken place that day; and the
Maharaja ordered his servants to lead him into the pavilion where all
the Chieftains were gathered together. And all present were silent when
they saw the Maharaja, and the Maharaja said to Draupadi:--"O daughter,
my sons have done evil to you this day: But go now, you and your
husbands, to your own Raj, and remember not what has occurred, and let
the memory of this day be blotted out for ever." So the Pandavas
made haste with their wife Draupadi, and departed out of the city of
Hastinapur.

'Then Duryodhana was exceedingly wroth, and he said to his father, "O
Maharaja, is it not a saying that when your enemy hath fallen down,

were to go into exile; and the exile was to be for twelve years, and one
year more; and during that thirteenth year those who were in exile were
to dwell in any city they pleased, but to keep themselves so concealed
that the others should never discover them; and if the others did
discover them before the thirteenth year was over, then those who were
in exile were to continue so for another thirteen years. So they sat
down again to play, and Sakuni had a set of cheating dice as before, and
with them he won the game.

'When Duhsasana saw that Sakuni had won the game, he danced about for
