Even that drapaudi rejecting karna is not part of bibek debroy s CE which is most credible translation as of now. But yes karna insulting drapaudi and giving idea of her disrobing is Very much part of all the translation. So yeah.
About marriage thingy. Arjun was NOT HER HUSBAND Rest i guess everyone has different theory
For me pandavas desperately wanted this alliance for political purposes ofcourse against their cousins who were better position politically at that point plus ved vyasa s in his conversation with the pandavas reveals about drapaudi s past life boon of marrying all the five pandavas and then these men go to drapaudi Swamyvaar to win her hand in marriage. Since it was archery s competition arjun went ahead with it . That mothers order thing was just an act staged for drapaudi but i think even panchal + krishna wanted this alliance with kuru heir a.k.a yudhishtra and the swaymawar was set up to seek pandavas out the plan was never arjun it was always yudhishtra arjun was just the medium this plan was probably made by drapaudi + krishna + panchal princes this explains why krishna did not participate in Swamyvaar even though he was present. And this explains drapaudi s silence in the potter house otherwise for someone as opinionated as drapaudi to be silent at such an important juncture of her life is indigestible at least to me .I don't find anything wrong with this all of them looking out for themselves plus political marriages were quite common in those days
Another thing is drapaudi being in love with arjuna before marriage is complete bullshit . Ofcourse they did build a relationship in due course of time but this amar prem ghatha which people try to project is how should i put it bakwaas.
Actually both things have been used to explain why Duryodhana and Karna did what they did to Draupadi. I don't understand why there are so many wrong stories to malign Draupadi's image and present her as a vain, casteist woman.
I am lost here, so they knew Draupadi had to Marry 5 of them, the story I read was Arjun referring her as a thing and Kunti asking them to share it and to respect her order, they all marry Draupadi.
If everyone knew that Draupadi had to marry 5 of them then why would they show Kunti and everyone doing drama in front of Draupadi?
It's all so confusing
It was Draupadi's swayamvar, she was to choose her husband, her husband would be the man who wins the competition, Arjun was the one who won, Draupadi put Varmala on him after Swayamvar and went to Kunti as his wife, why would Draupadi's father send his unmarried daughter with a man who is not her husband? Don't they get married after Swayamvar? If they don't still Arjun was bethroted to her and she agreed to marry the man who won the competition, that's how it works
Since this whole story was false and as you said Draupadi knew that she has to marry 5 Pandavas, why didn't they simply marry her instead of organizing a swayamvar?
I didn't mention love in my post, I feel you think I ship Arjun and Draupadi, which is not true, I don't believe in love story where woman has 5 husbands and husband has 4 wives, it was a different time and place. Marriages were alliance between two kingdoms
