Pranam Here I saw some other views also and since in depth is missing so wrote. 1 Sri Bhagavat Bhagavta Mitra: Verse 1.5.39 Chapter 5 - Priya (the beloved devotees) <https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/brihad-bhagavatamrita-commentary/d/doc426286.html> श्री-द्रौपदी च हरिणा स्वयम् एव राज-सूयादिषूत्सव-वरेष्व् अभिषिक्त-केशा । सम्बोध्यते प्रिय-सखीत्य् अवितात्रि-पुत्र-दुःशासनादि-भयतो हृत-सर्व-शोका ॥ ३९ ॥ śrī-draupadī ca hariṇā svayam eva rāja-sūyādiṣūtsava-vareṣv abhiṣikta-keśā | sambodhyate priya-sakhīty avitātri-putra-duḥśāsanādi-bhayato hṛta-sarva-śokā || 39 || Śrī Kṛṣṇa <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/krishna#vaishnavism> at the festivity of the Rājasūya yajña <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/rajasuyayajna#vaishnavism> personally sanctified the hair of Draupadī <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/draupadi#vaishnavism>. He would address Draupadī as priya-sakhī <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/priyasakhi#vaishnavism>, and Śrī Kṛṣṇa removed all her distress and protected her from the fear of Durvāsā <https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/durvasa#vaishnavism> and Duḥśāsana. Draupadi and Krishna were best friends , they were very good friends. Krishna called her ‘Sakhi’ and she called him ‘Sakha’ (friend). She was called *Krishnaa* not after Krishna but because she was of dark complexion. Mahabharatham Sabha Parva chapt 70: ""Karna said,--'Of all the persons in the assembly, three, *viz*., Bhishma, Vidura, and the preceptor of the Kurus (Drona) appear to be independent; for they always speak of their master as wicked, always censure him, and never wish for his prosperity. O excellent one, the slave, the son, and the wife are always dependent. They cannot earn wealth, for whatever they earn belongeth to their master. Thou art the wife of a slave incapable of possessing anything on his own account. Repair now to the inner apartments of king Dhritarashtra and serve the king's relatives. We direct that that is now thy proper business. And, O princess, all the sons of Dhritarashtra and not the sons of Pritha are now thy masters. O handsome one, select thou another husband now,--one who will not make thee a slave by gambling. It is well-known that women, especially that are slaves, are not censurable if they proceed with freedom in electing husbands. Therefore let it be done by thee. Nakula hath been won, as also Bhimasena, and Yudhishthira also, and Sahadeva, and Arjuna. And, O Yajnaseni, thou art now a slave. Thy husbands that are slaves cannot continue to be thy lords any longer. Alas, doth not the son of Pritha regards life, prowess and manhood as of no use that he offereth this daughter of Drupada, the king of Panchala, in the presence of all this assembly, as a stake at dice?'" Take off the robes of the Pandavas (chap67) as also the attire of Draupadi. Hearing these words the Pandavas, O Bharata, took of their upper garments and throwing them down sat in that assembly. Then Dussasana, O king, <https://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m02/errata.htm#30> forcibly seizing Draupadi's attire before the eyes of all, began to drag it off her person." Vaisampayana continued,--"When the attire of Draupadi was being thus dragged, the thought of Hari, (And she herself cried aloud <https://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m02/errata.htm#31>, saying), 'O Govinda, O thou who dwellest in Dwaraka, O Krishna, O thou who art fond of cow-herdesses (of Vrindavana). O Kesava, seest thou not that the Kauravas are humiliating me. O Lord, O husband of Lakshmi, O Lord of Vraja (Vrindavana), O destroyer of all afflictions, O Janarddana, rescue me who am sinking in the Kaurava Ocean. O Krishna, O Krishna, O thou great yogin, thou soul of the universe, Thou creator of all things, O Govinda, save me who am distressed,--who am losing my senses in the midst of the Kurus.' Thus did that afflicted lady resplendent still in her beauty, O king covering her face cried aloud, thinking of Krishna, of Hari, of the lord of the three worlds. Hearing the words of Draupadi, Krishna was deeply moved. And leaving his seat, the benevolent one from compassion, arrived there on foot. And while Yajnaseni was crying aloud to Krishna, also called Vishnu and Hari and Nara for protection, the illustrious Dharma, remaining unseen, covered her with excellent clothes of many hues. And, O monarch as the attire of Draupadi was being dragged, after one was taken off, another of the same kind, appeared covering her. And thus did it continue till many clothes were seen. And, O exalted on, owing to the protection of Dharma, hundreds upon hundreds of robes of many hues came off Draupadi's person. And there arose then a deep uproar of many many voices. And the kings present in that assembly beholding that most extraordinary of all sights in the world, began to applaud Draupadi and censure the son of Dhritarashtra. And Bhima then, squeezing his hands, with lips quivering in rage, swore in the midst of all those kings a terrible oath in a loud voice. And when a mass of clothes had been gathered in that assembly, all dragged from the person of Draupadi, Dussasana, tired and ashamed, sat down. And beholding the sons of Kunti in that state, the persons--those gods among men--that were in that assembly all uttered the word 'Fie!'(on the son of Dhritarashtra). And the united voices of all became so loud that they made the down of anybody who heard them stand on end. And all the honest men that were in that assembly began to say,--'Alas! the Kauravas answer not the question that hath been put to them by Draupadi. Virtue and morality are being persecuted by such conduct. { There is no more spoken by Vyasa as raising hands uncovered her dress etc; sh called her friend Krishna since her question on wealth was not answered by the kauravas. SO AFTER SEEING THE MIRACLE dhritarashtra was forced to offer her 3 boons; but as a kshatriya woman she said she is entitled only for 2 boons; so they left for the forest} So Krishna did not delay the resdue of Krishnai at all. 2 Where does the sun go in the night is answered by Aitareya Brahmana(3.44) declares:
“The Sun does never set nor rise. When people think the Sun is setting (it is not so). For after having arrived at the end of the day it makes itself produce two opposite effects, making night to what is below and day to what is on the other side…Having reached the end of the night, it makes itself produce two opposite effects, making day to what is below and night to what is on the other side. In fact, the Sun never sets….” ( This also I wrote long ago we are aware of it > 5000 yrs back; aitreya brahmana forms of RiG vedam) 3 Tayir sadam is not as mentioned above; the words were uttered even when I was reading in the school. Tayirsadam means Iyer Brahmin etc; they are pure vegetarians that is all. Actor Gemini Ganesan was written in the magazines as Tayir sadam only because he is a pudukkottai Ayyar.
