>From Chapter28. Dhyutalila 

One day the Pandavaheroes were invited to the Palace. They were entertained 
with games such asDice. Then Saubala (Sakuni), filled with a desire to avenge 
the death of hisbrothers and looking for an opportunity to send the Kaurava 
heroes to the Godof Death, took out the dice pieces made out of bones and said: 
'Now no one on earth can thinkof defeating the son of Dharma in the dice game. 
The Kaurava brother is alsoproficient in the game. The game should proceed with 
the loser putting up thestake.' 

When Draupadi iswon, Duryodhana asks Dussasana: Bring Draupadi to the Sabha, 
who laughed at mein the (other) Sabha. 

When Dussasana tries to Disrob Draupadi, because ofKrishna's grace, endless 
garments appeared.

After the disrobing episode, no one could answerDraupadi's question. To resolve 
the matter, Draupadichallenges Duryodhana for a dice game, defeats him and 
restores freedom to herhusbands.

 Mookasura, a relative of the blind ()Suyodhana used to visit hermitages
