Order Number: SPC43

Background: Drupadi was the daughter of Drupada, King of Cempalareja. Her husband, Yudistiro, gambled and lost his freedom and then hers in a game of dice with the Kurawa.

Dursasono moved to take possession of her, tearing open her gown at the thigh and pulling loose her tied up hair. Trembling with rage, she told the Kurawa that her husband had already lost his own freedom, so he couldn’t gamble hers. She swore to leave her dress torn and her hair unbraided until she could wash her hair in Dursasono’s blood.

On the ninth day of the last war, Drupadi’s curse was fulfilled. Bimo encountered Dursasono and tore his cousin limb from limb with his talons. Drupadi appeared and bathed her hair in the dying man’s blood.
