Question

Discus the role of vidura in The Dicing and The Sequel to the Dicing.

Answer 1

Vidura was an embodiment of dharma in The Dicing and the sequel to The Dicing. He is depicted to be intelligent and morally dutiful, acting as a paragon of truth, impartial judgment and steadfast dharma. He represents inner consciousness of the Mahabharata. He attempts to stop the dice game and warns Yudhishtira about the imminent foul play. Together with Vikarna, they support Draupadi and point out Duryadhan's ill-treatment towards her as morally wrong.
