Thank you Mr Sekar for response with very good  additions.

No body  in the present or  generation decades or centuries before have
seen the original Mahabharatham written by Lord Ganesha, dictated by
Vedavysa. What we have is something carried in memory and hand written at a
time and later printed. So the so called vyasabharatham  is something
carried over by memory.

Regarding mango incident Droupadi did not tell the truth, finally when
Krishna asked, she told it in private. The moment she said, mango got fixed
to the branch. She did not reveal her thought  openly.
*What I read through internet for the first time. *

My only point of posting it was for expanding the saying posted  by revered
Mr Narayanaswamy- *Seethai azhakal kettal, Panchali vayal kettal,* commonly
used in talks by brahmin households.

For that the laughing when Duryodhana drenched in water by Panchali is
sufficient. I could not get more instances  for Panchali azhakal kettal
other than the Subhadra incident.

Thanks Sri G K.

Some of the incidents you have mentioned are not there (Draupadi loving
Karna for example) in the Vyasa Bharatham - I have read both

Rajaji's Vyasar Virundhu and
Cho Sirs Mahabharatham

which are based ONLY on Vaysa's original version. (there are several
adapted versions  of Mahbharatha -  and also of Ramayana - like the Kamba
Ramayana which differs on several places from Valmiki's original).

They have mentioned that Draupadi laughed at Duryodana (when she, together
with Bhima standing in the balcony inside the palace) falling saying "The
son of a blind man is also blind".an this insult Duryodana never forgot nor
forgive.

If my memory serves me right, Cho sir writes that the Pandavaas plucked the
mango from the tree and on hearing t belonged to a Rishi and bears fruits
only rarely, wanted it to stick to the tree.
That's when Krishna asks them to tell the truth and all including Draupadi
say their inner feelings and the mango goes and sticks to the branch.

I don't remember having read that she had a soft corner for Karna.

Panchali vaayal kettal

Dear friends,

Yesterday I had posted about Seethai azhakal kettal. This is about
Droupati. Panchali (Droupati) had her troubles, because of her talk, smile
or laugh. Also the saying Panchali azhakal kettal is also correct. Droupati
was a dark complexioned beautiful lady. Continue reading. My Google
searches are provided with date.

Gopalakrishnan 10-3-24

1. Introduction

Draupadi was of 30 years when she married to all Pandavas. Draupadi was 25
years when she was  born from holy fire. Her swayamvara took place after 5
years.

Draupadi is considered one of the greatest beauties in Indian mythology.
Her skin was so dark, it was almost blue. Same with Krishna, Vishnu, and
Shiva.28 Jun 2023

2 What was special about Draupadi?

She was extremely beautiful, intelligent and virtuous women, with her body
smelling like fresh bloom lotus. There were only a few women in Hindu
Mythology who were aggressive and who spoke their mind in the world of men.
Draupadi was one of them. She is considered by many as the first feminist
of Hindu Mythology.

3. Bharatha Paryatanam by Kuttikrishna Marar

My first introduction to the Panchali swayamvaram and details was from my
Malayalam text book titled above in the first year of BSc. degree course.  A
vivid description I could read from it.

While the swayamvaram was arranged, Duryodhana along with Karna, and
Pandavas attended along with many others. Pandavas were in Anjathavasam at
that time. They were in disguise as Brahmins. Karna was discarded by
Droupadi calling him  as  charioteer’s son. Though Angarajyam was given to
him by Suyodhana and made him a king, still Droupadi did not accepted him.
A bad impact made by her on Karna made him to call later whor during
vasthrakshepam (disrobing).

Some how Lord Krishna could convince  Drupada and Droupadi, that pandavas
were in disguise as Brahmins, and Arjuna won  her in swayamvar.

Just because Kunti without seeing the gift (Droupadi), told, all can share
the gift, Droupadi became wife of all Pandavas.

She was pride of keeping all Pandavas in harmony though she liked Arjuna
more than others who won her in swayamvaram. Later when Arjun married
Subhadra, sister of Lord Krishna, she was very particular she should stay
in a separate palace.

4 Who was Draupadi attracted to?

As per the folk play from Maharashtra called Jambul- Aakhyaan Draupadi
admitted that she loved Karna more than her husbands and regretted not
marrying him because of the caste. She stated that had she married Karna,
she would have been happy and not disrobed by Dusshasan.12 Dec 2022

5 The mango story

There is an interesting mango story told in the Aaranyakanda. It is told it
was to suppress the pride of Droupadi created by Lord Krishna. Many
versions are there. In one of them, she says she loved Arjuna more  among
Pandavas and in another She thought if Karna too had been her husband to
Lord Krishna. ( I am not repeating the story here)

 “Then came Draupadi’s turn. She must tell the truth, Krishna appealed to
her – she, who was born of the sacred homa fire and was the eternal goddess
herself. She was a great deal more important than the Pandavas. Draupadi
said that she was like any woman who feels attraction for a handsome male,
be he her brother or her son. She said that although the five Pandavas were
her husbands, she had greater affection for Arjuna. Then she went on to say
what every one knew by then, things like how she was humiliated in the
Kaurava court and how she had left her hair loose since then, promising to
tie it up with the blood of Dussasana, etc., and how she would be the cause
of the destruction of the Kaurava brothers. The mangoes ripened by her
truth.” [2]The blog is owned by B. N pattanaik.



Droupati was rebirth of Nalayini, it is told

6 Hasthinapuram palace incident

Duryodhana came to see the new palace of Pandavas. He had difficulty in
seeing floor and pools in the palace and falling often on account of
it. Droupathi
was showing him the palace

As the story goes, Duryodhana fell in a pond, mistaking it for floor and
got drenched. According to BR Chopra's version, beholding all this Draupadi
laughed sarcastically and insulted him by saying, “Andhe ka Putra Andha'',
i.e., “The Son of Blind is Also Blind”.20 Apr 2020

6.1 Did Draupadi really laugh at Duryodhana?

I (writer) did my own research and find out that Draupadi did not laugh at
Duryodhana, nor did she say anything insulting to him. She was just passing
by with her friends and happened to laugh at something else.3 Jan 2024

6.2 Why did Duryodhana hate Draupadi?He was jealous of Pandavas. There was
a misconception that she made fun of Duryodhana so he revenged.26 Dec 2017

But they say it is her arrogant jeering of Duryodhana -I mean laughing at
his discomfiture -in the Palace of Illusions that Maya had built for
Pandavas. The plot of MB is a complex web if interaction of cause-effect
relations of many more sets of people (by Mahadeva Sarma in an answer)

In my college days we used to say- Unless Panchali laughed at Duryodhana,
the great war would not have occurred.

7. Droupathi telling in the end of war

 “O descendant of the Bharata lineage! Look at your brothers and delight
them. They are like proud bulls and proud kings of elephants. All of you
are like the immortals. All of you are scorchers of enemies and are capable
of withstanding enemies. It is my view that even a single one of you would
have been enough to bring me happiness, not to speak of when all of you
tigers and men and bulls among men are my husbands, like the senses
enervating the body.”

Ref - Debroy Bibek. The Mahabharata: Volume 8 (Kindle Locations 3160-3164).
Penguin Books Ltd. Kindle Edition.

So in conclusion because of her laugh/words at hasthinapuram palace,
reasoned Mahabharatha war.
