Verb

1. to cast, throw (especially dice)
2. to play, gamble
   • c. 700 CE – 900 CE, Bhāgavata Purāṇa 10.56.5:

     तं विलोक्य जना दूरात्तेजसा मुष्टदृष्टयः। दीव्यतेऽक्षैर्भगवते शशंसु: सूर्यशङ्किताः॥

     taṃ vilokya janā dūrāttejasā muṣṭadṛṣṭayaḥ. dīvyateʼkṣairbhagavate śaśaṃsu: sūryaśaṅkitāḥ.

     As the people looked at Satrājit from a distance, his brilliance blinded them. They presumed he was the sun-god, Sūrya, and went to tell Lord Kṛṣṇa, who was at that time playing with dice [i.e. gambling].

   • c. 700 CE – 900 CE, Bhāgavata Purāṇa 10.61.25:

     नैवाक्षकोविदा यूयं गोपाला वनगोचरराः। अक्षैर्दीव्यन्ति राजानो बाणैश्च न भवादृशाः॥

     naivākṣakovidā yūyaṃ gopālā vanagocararāḥ. akṣairdīvyanti rājāno bāṇaiśca na bhavādṛśāḥ.

     You cowherds who wander about the forests know nothing about dice. The kings play with dice and arrows; they are not for the likes of you.

3. to lay a wager, bet with (with instrumental case), upon (with dative case)
4. (with accusative case) to play, sport, joke, trifle with
   • 2009, Gurukula patrika, volume 21, page 259:

     ...(śiśnadevāḥ) abrahmacaryāḥ kāmino ye śiśnena dīvyanti krīḍanti te.
