Pranam
for those sleeping these tit bits will keep you awake:
22. Draupadi was asked 3 times by Duryodhana to come to the court after her
husbands lost her in dicing. Draupadi kept denying and asked Duryodhana to
question Yudhistira whether he staked himself first or her first.
Duryodhana asked Draupadi to question her husband in court directly.
Yet Draupadi
refused to come and sent the attendant back. Duryodhana lost his temper and
ordered Dusshasana to bring her there at any cost. { Maha Kavi Subramanya
Bharathi in Panchali sabatham writes these in a powerful poetic words Those
who likes can read}
23. After the whole incident of Draupadi vastraharan, Draupadi herself
apologises to the court saying “I had been dragged here and humiliated. In
all that has occurred, I did not bow down to the elders of the court and
the family. My apologies to them.” Even in such adverse situations,
Draupadi remembered her dharma of Putravadhu. This bought
tears in the eyes of elders and Bhisma. Draupadi never said “Andhe Ka Putra
Andha” as per the original Mahabharat. No single verse is found where
Draupadi humiliates guest Duryodhana.
24. Jayadrath, who is mainly held responsible for slaying the 16 year old
Abhimanyu (Arjun’s son) in the Chakravyuh, was in fact the only
brother-in-law to the 101 Pandava and Kaurava brothers, married to their
sister Dushala.
25. The narration of the Bhagavad Gita by Krishna was heard firsthand not
only by Arjun but also Hanuman and Sanjay. Hanuman was perched on top of
Arjuna’s chariot throughout the battle of Kurukshetra and Sanjay was
blessed by Ved Vyas with divine vision in order to narrate the events of the
battle to Dhritharashtra.
26. Iranvan, Son of Uloopi and Arjun self-sacrificed to the goddess Kali to
show his bhakti towards her and ensure favor and the victory of the
Pandavas in the war, with a wish to marry a girl before dying; to fulfill
his wish Krishna married to him as Mohini (the roop he took during
Samudra Manthan
to protect Amrit) and cried after his death like a real wife.
27. Draupadi was a daughter of Panchala King Drupad. She did tapasya and
prayed Bhagwan Shiv. After the appearance of Shiv, she asked for the boon
to marry a great man who had 14 of the best qualities. Bhagwan Shiv
informed her that 14 qualities are not possible to be present in the yoni
of a human being. But Draupadi insisted, so there upon Bhagwan Shiv granted
her a wish – a marriage with 5 great men who would have 14 such great
qualities, and also after every morning bath she would regain her virginity.
QUIZ: what are the 14 qualities? K R IRS 7321
