Quote from Mahabharata Recently I bumped into a quote saying "Whom Did You Lose First, Yourself or Me?" and since I liked it, I tried to find out where it was from. I found out it is from Mahabharata, having to do with "the game of dice" and how Yudhisthira lost everything, encluding Draupadi. I would really like to have the qoute in Sanskrit, I've tried to find out which verse it was using Sanskrit-English dictionaries but I've had no luck. The quote is apparently from section 66 of Sabha parva. Here (http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m02/m02066.htm) it says: "Didst thou lose thyself first or me?". I'd be most grateful if someone could help me and find that verse in Sanskrit for me! :)
