Shakuni of cunning smile claws his cruel dice

Kurus gloat in ways deceitful - see them win 

Pandavas virtue daze - gripped in ironic vice

Bhishma blinkered by duty, blind-sided to sin

Foul slayers the hundred hie to fight the five 

Then Krishna smiling, plays His covert hand

The enemy to distraction devious He will drive

When cheater is cheated - castles turn to sand.

BG. 10:36

I am the gambling of cheats, and of the splendid I am the splendor. I am victory, I am adventure, and I am the virtue of the virtuous.

'' Of all cheating processes, gambling stands supreme and therefore represents Krsna. As the Supreme, Krsna can be more deceitful than any mere man. If Krsna chooses to deceive a person, no one can surpass Him in His deceit. His greatness is not simply one-sided-it is all-sided.Among the victorious, He is victory. He is the splendor of the splendid. Among enterprising industrialists, He is the most enterprising. Among adventurers, He is the most adventurous, and among the strong, He is the strongest. When Krsna was present on earth, no one could surpass Him in strength. Even in His childhood He lifted Govardhana Hill. No one can surpass Him in cheating, no one can surpass Him in splendor, no one can surpass Him in victory, no one can surpass Him in enterprise, and no one can surpass Him in strength.''
