[Yudhishthira:] "A hundred thousand serving maids are mine — young, excellent, wearing conch-shell bracelets and golden necklaces, beautifully adorned, in precious garlands and ornaments, in fine garments anointed with sandalwood, bearing jewels and gold, all in delicate raiment, skilled in dance and song, attending at my command upon snatakas, ministers, and kings." Hearing this, Shakuni, resolved and having resorted to deceit, said to Yudhishthira only: "Won!"

Here for the first time it is not things but people who go into the stake — serving maids. It is telling that the game, having begun with gold, has imperceptibly shifted to the living: once you allow yourself to stake possessions, you will not stop short of staking people either. The verse teaches how evil moves down an incline: the boundary has blurred, and a human being turns into "wealth," into part of the stake. And this substitution — people for things — is the dark threshold to the most terrible thing of all: soon the brothers themselves will be staked, and the player himself, and Draupadi. One who has once counted a living being as property has already opened the door to boundless fall; dehumanization begins unnoticed — with a person being entered into the inventory of goods.
