	The Third Dice Game by Pradip Bhattacharya
		Yudhishthir noticed that the dice was like Shakuni’s, equally well made with smooth faces, rounded at the edges, a tiny hole at the centre of each dot.
		Shakuni, gone pale, threw the dice for the third time.
		Administering a resounding slap on Shakuni’s cheek and snatching away his dice Balaram said, “O assembled people, I shall break open these dice and find out what is inside them.” Saying this, he split open both dice by throwing them on a stone platform.

		That scimitar of the intelligent Sutasoma of the hue of the clear sky, as it was whirled by that hero, was regarded by Shakuni to be as fatal as the rod of Death.
