"by means of," "with," or "using." Therefore, dyūtena literally

This usage is common in classical Sanskrit literature, epics,
and dharma texts where gambling or games of chance are
mentioned, for example in the Mahābhārata, where terms
derived from dyūta occur with the instrumental case to
describe actions taken via gambling.
