        <description><![CDATA[I understand you are referring to the games of dice that Yudhisthir played with Shakuni on the Invitation of Dhritrashtra.
There were actually two sessions of games mentioned in Mahabharata. In the first session Yudhishtir lost all his kingdom and possessions including himself, his brothers, and finally his wife Draupadi. When this happened Duryodhana had Draupadi forcibly brought to the assembly hall. Here Dushasan, a brother of Duryodhana,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Duryodhana was always jealous of his cousins Pandavas. Duryodhana had visited The Kingdom of Pandavas when they performed a Rajasuya Yagya and, while there, seeing their power and prosperity, felt even more jealous. Further, he felt insulted when he accidentally fell in to a pond of water within the palace of Pandavas. With this he felt extremely dejected and started to think about ways of depriving the Pandavas of their power and prosperity....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As per my knowledge none of the well known ancient books like Mahabharata or Bhagwad mention the name of bow used by Lord Krishna. As a matter of fact I do not know of any incident when Lord Krishna used bow.
