Having lost everything in a game of dice, the Pandavas were exiled from their kingdom to live in the forests for 12 years, and further, they were required to spend a 13th year incognito. If their disguise were discovered during the 13th year, they would face another cycle of 13 years in exile. Contrary to what might be expected, these 13 years did not diminish their mental resilience or abilities as warriors and statesmen. During their 12 years in the forest, the Pandavas prepared for an impending war by performing penance and acquiring celestial weapons from the Gods. They also met with several ascetics and gained insights into life and dharma.

The Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, is a theory that states that 80% of outcomes come from 20% of the inputs. The principle is named after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who first observed the phenomenon while studying income distribution in Italy. He noticed that 80% of the country’s income was owned by 20% of the population. Pareto theorized that this ratio could be found in many areas of life and might indicate a natural law.
