Hello everyone! :)

Namaste.

This is my first post on HDF.

Wikipedia at the link below mentions a story of Karna playing dice with Duryodhana's wife, Bhanumati.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duryodhana#Friendship_with_Karna

I haven't come across this story in Vyasa's Mahabharata (http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/#maha)

Does anyone here know if it is from a different version or retelling of the Mahabharata, for example, Andhra Mahabharatam (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andhra_Mahabharatam)?

Thanks

- SV

The question for the source is asked in a comment too, but not answered.
Why not write her an e-mail? I am sure you will get the answer.
