[Bhima:] "There are, in the land, O Yudhishthira, harlots kept by gamblers, but even with them men do not gamble, and there is pity even for them. What Kashi brought as tribute, and other finest goods, and the treasures that other guardians of the earth offered — chariots, wealth, armor and weapons, the kingdom, yourself, and us — all of it was taken by the enemy through deceit. And at this I felt no anger, for you are the lord of all that is ours. But this, I think, has crossed the limit — that Draupadi is staked as a wager."

Bhima does not complain about the loss of the kingdom, of wealth, or even of his own freedom: all of this lay within the elder's authority, and he does not dispute his right. Anger awakens only where the defenseless are violated — and here the measure of righteous indignation reveals itself: it flares up not for one's own sake, but for a trampled purity. The comparison with the harlot is telling: even a fallen woman is spared, never made a stake in a game — how much graver, then, to wager a chaste queen. The verse teaches that there is a limit beyond which even lawful authority commits lawlessness; reverence for an elder is not license for him to destroy the innocent.
