This beautiful Varnam is about Lord Krishna. This story describes Lord Krishna’s miraculous aid towards his devotee in a time of need.
Duryodhana challenged Dharmaputra to a game of dice. He was first asked to bet his kingdom, people and his brothers, in which Dharmaputra lost. Then Duryodhana along with Shakuni cleverly tricked the Pandavas, causing Dharmaputra to bet Draupadi in a state of extreme hopelessness and lost her too. Dussasana forcibly brought Draupadi to the court of the Kauravas. He began to disrobe Draupadi despite her pleas for mercy, in a helpless state she prayed to Lord Krishna. He miraculously blessed her with an endless saree and preserved her dignity.
