專家說明

In this episode from the Mahabharata, the blind king Dhritarashtra is seated in the middle with his sons, the Kauravas, before him. Four Pandava brothers are seated to his left. The eldest Pandava, Yudhisthira, stands before Duryodhana with folded hands. In a disastrous dice game, the Pandavas have gambled away their wealth, freedom and even their wife Draupadi, to the Kauravas and will soon be exiled from the kingdom. Duhshasana, one of the Kaurava princes, drags Draupadi through the audience hall and begins disrobing her. Draupadi calls upon Krishna to save her honour. As Duhshasana strips a piece of clothing off Draupadi, Krishna replaces it with another and soon the heap of coloured fabric collecting at her feet begins to grow.
