Draupadi
 |
| Draupadi and the Pandavas (Raja Ravi Varma) |
- Drupada's daughter
- Supernatural birth
- Sacrificial fire
- Avenges her father and destroys Kauravas
- Sister of Dhrishtadyumna
- Reincarnation of a woman who prayed 5 times for a husband
Swayamwara
Overview: Her dad announces that whoever can break the bow will win his daughter's hand in marriage and summons the princes and regents. Krishna makes a guest appearance in this part of the story.
Karna breaks the bow but is rejected by Draupadi because he is not a king's son.
Karna's story can make a good story for a prince in disguise.
Arjuna breaks the bow and Krishna declares that the bride had been fairly won.
Draupadi's marriage to five husbands results in karma from her previous life. It's revealed that in her previous like she prayed for a husband 5 times. The husbands are all incarnations of Indra.
Kunti makes a mistake and all 5 of the Pandavas end up being married to Draupadi. They tell her they brought a gift and she tells them to share it between the 5 of them. She realizes her mistake and basically tells them to sort it out because she can't take back her words.
Indraprastha
Duryodhana knows the Pandavas are alive and became Drupada's ally. The kingdom is run by the Pandavas and they are all about justice and doing the right thing and listen to their people's concerns.
This is a good example of dharma and good karma. Maybe there can be a revelation that it's actually karma that runs the kingdom but she appointed the Pandavas as representation.
Rules:

Arjuna and Ulupi
Arjuna breaks the rules while sharing his wife with his brothers and is exiled. He meets Ulupi and she forces him to marry her and they have a child together.
Arjuna leaves them behind in Nagaloka and continues exploring.
Rules:
- If one brother is with the wife the others need to leave the room
- If a brother enters the room it is intrusion and the punishment is being exiled for 12 years.
Arjuna entered the weapons room where Yudhishthira was with their wife. He was chasing a robber and needed the weapon to catch him. Yudhishthira tries to defend him but Arjuna keeps his word and goes into exile.
Maybe Arjuna broke the rule on purpose because he didn't want to share his wife and be married anymore. It is a unique situation. His good deed of catching a robber is good karma.
Arjuna and Chitra
Arjuna marries the Princess of Manipur and they also have a son together. Arjuna leaves his son in Manipur.
It looks like Arjuna is a bit of a playboy and needs to take responsibility for his children.
Arjuna and Subhadra
Arjuna marries Krishna's sister. Krishna advices him to take her away by force and marry her because it is looked up upon. Krishna's brother, Balarama wanted her to marry Duryodhana.
After exile Draupadi is angry that he married Subhadra. Subhadra becomes Draupadi's maid.
Draupadi Lost
Yudhishthira gets into a gamble match Shakuni and loses the whole kingdom. He gambles his own wife and himself.
This is unfair because she wasn't just his wife. He gambles everything without his brothers' and wife's consent.
Draupadi is furious that she is now a slave to the Kauravas. She questions why the Pandavas aren't protecting if they're all about justice. The Pandavas are angry and want revenge.
Karna explains to her that her fate is determined by her husband. Slaves can't be married. Bhima gets angry at Yudhishthira but Arjuna defends him. Bhima can't kills his brother so he vows to avenge the kingdom and Draupadi against the Kauravas which the elders applaud him for.
The Second Match
Dhritarashtra learns the truth from his brother Vidura and is angry about what his son did. He apologizes to Draupadi who asks that he release the Pandavas and her. They are exiled.
