ततो जग्राह शकुनिस्तानक्षानक्षतत्त्ववित्। जितमित्येव शकुनिर्युधिष्ठिरमभाषत
Then Shakuni, skilled in dice, took up the dice and said to Yudhishthira, 'Won!'
मत्त कैतकेनैव यज्जितोऽस्मि दुरोदरे। शकुने हन्त दीव्यामो ग्लहमानाः परस्परम्
Since I have been defeated by deceit in this game, O Shakuni, come, let us play, each challenging the other.
सन्ति निष्कसहस्रस्य भाण्डिन्यो भरिताः शुभाः। कोशो हिरण्यमक्षय्यं जातरूपमनेकशः। एतद्राजन्मम धनं तेन दीव्याम्यहं त्वया
There are splendid containers filled with a thousand gold pieces, an inexhaustible treasury of gold in many forms; this, O King, is my wealth, and with it I play against you.
कौरवाणां कुलकरं ज्येष्ठं पाण्डवमच्युतम्। इत्युक्तः शकुनिः प्राह जितमित्येव तं नृपम्
Thus addressed, Shakuni said to the king, 'Won!'—referring to the eldest, steadfast Pandava, the glory of the Kaurava line.

Here is a well-built chariot, equal to a thousand, adorned with fine equipment, splendid, and decorated with jingling bells.
संह्रादनो राजरथो य इहास्मानुपावहत्। जौत्रो रथवरः पुण्यो मेघसागरनिः स्वनः
This royal chariot, which resounds like thunderclouds and the sea, is drawn here for us, auspicious, and famed among chariots.
अष्टौ यं कुररच्छायाः सदश्वा राष्ट्रसंमताः। वहन्ति नैषां मुच्येत पदाद्भूमिमुपस्पृशन्। एतद्राजन्धनं मह्यं तेन दीव्याम्यहं त्वया
Eight steeds, shaded like cranes, always approved in the realm, draw it; they never touch the ground with their feet. This, O King, is my wealth, and with it I play against you.
एवं श्रुत्वा व्यवसितो निकृतिं समुपाश्रितः। जितमित्येव शकुनिर्युधिष्ठिरमभाषत
Hearing this, Yudhishthira, resolved but embracing deceit, was again declared defeated by Shakuni.
शतं दासीसहस्राणि तरुण्यो हेमभद्रिकाः। कम्बुकेयूरधारिण्यो निष्ककण्ठ्यः स्वलङ्कृताः
A hundred thousand maidservants, young women adorned with golden seats, wearing armlets and necklaces, splendidly ornamented—

Adorned with garlands and ornaments of great value, well-dressed and anointed with sandalwood, wearing jewels and gold, skilled in sixty-four arts—

And I have thousands of male servants as well, always clad in fine garments, moving in auspicious circles around me.

I have elephants in the thousands, intoxicated, with golden chains and head ornaments, lotus-marked, adorned with golden garlands.
सुदान्ता राजवहनाः सर्वशब्दक्षमा युधि। ईषादन्ता महाकायाः सर्वे चाष्टकरेणवः
Well-trained, fit for royal processions, enduring all sounds in battle, with slightly curved tusks, great in size, all with eight points.
सर्वे च पुरभेत्तारो नवमेघनिभा गजाः। एतद्राजन्मम धनं तेन दीव्याम्यहं त्वया
All are city-breakers, elephants resembling new clouds; this, O King, is my wealth, with which I play against you.
इत्येवंवादिनं पार्थं प्रहसन्निव सौबलः। जितमित्येव शकुनिर्युधिष्ठिरमभाषत
Thus, as Partha spoke, Saubala laughed and said to Yudhishthira, 'Defeated!'

I have as many chariots as these, with golden poles and banners, drawn by well-trained horses, manned by skilled and diverse warriors.
एकैको ह्यत्र लभते सहस्रपरमां भृतिम्। युध्यतोऽयुध्यतो वापि वेतनं मासकालिकम्। एतद्राजन्म धनं तेन दीव्याम्यहं त्वया
Each one receives a monthly wage up to a thousand, whether fighting or not; this, O King, is my wealth, with which I play against you.
