Vyasa telling Drupada about the previous lives of the Pandavas and Draupadi. The most accepted version is one prepared by scholars led by Vishnu Sukthankar at the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, preserved at Kyoto University, Cambridge University and various Indian universities. Scholars have attempted to construct a critical edition, relying mostly on a study of the "Bombay" edition, the "Poona" edition, the "Calcutta" edition and the "south Indian" editions of the manuscripts. The differences between the Northern and Southern recensions are particularly significant, with the Southern manuscripts more profuse and longer. Except for the sections containing the Bhagavad Gita which is remarkably consistent between the numerous manuscripts, the rest of the epic exists in many versions. The Mahabharata manuscripts exist in numerous versions, wherein the specifics and details of major characters and episodes vary, often significantly. The oldest parts in the surviving version of the text probably date to about 400 BCE. The work is written in Classical Sanskrit and is a composite work of revisions, editing and interpolations over many centuries. The story of Draupadi is told in the Mahabharata, one of the Sanskrit epics from the Indian subcontinent.
ĭraupadi's story has been an inspiration for various arts, performances and secondary literature. Post war, she resumes her role as the empress for 36 years, after which she retires to the Himalayas, along with her husbands. The exile is followed by the Kurukshetra War, where Draupadi loses her father, brothers and her five children. Significant events during this period include an attempted kidnapping by Jayadratha and the death of Kichaka. Following the subsequent episodes, Draupadi and the Pandavas are exiled for 13 years. An attempt is made by Dushasana to disrobe her but she is saved by divine intervention. The most notable incident in Draupadi's life is the game of dice at Hastinapur where Yudhishthira loses his possessions and wife, and she is humiliated by the Kaurava brothers and Karna. She had five sons, one from each Pandava, who were collectively addressed as the Upapandavas. Later, she became the empress as Yudhishthira performed the Rajasuya ritual and achieved the status of the emperor. Arjuna won her hand in marriage, but she had to marry the five brothers because of her mother-in-law's misunderstanding. ĭraupadi and her brother, Dhrishtadyumna, were born from a yajna (fire sacrifice) organized by King Drupada of Panchala. She is noted for her beauty, courage and a rare polyandrous marriage. Draupadi ( Sanskrit: द्रौपदी, romanized: draupadī, lit.'Daughter of Drupada'), also referred to as Krishnaa, Panchali and Yajnaseni, is the female protagonist of the Hindu epic, Mahabharata and the consort of the five Pandava brothers- Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva.
