Why did Yudhishthira stake both of Madri’s sons first?

Besides, Yudhishthira’s sense of justice would not have permitted him to stake both of Madri’s sons first. If human staking really happened, then after staking Sahadeva first, Yudhishthira should have staked Arjuna – to maintain balance between Kunti and Maadrii’s sons – as we see in Yudhishthira-Yaksha Samvaada.

How does Nakula die in Mahabharata?

Yudhishthira asks Nakula to go and look for water. At some point, Nakula comes to a pond. As he is about to drink from the water, a voice says, “Don’t drink from this water before you answer my questions.” Nakula ignores it, drinks the water, and falls dead.
