"During the scene the beautiful Draupadi is possessed also of quick wit and a clever tongue. Her ability at debate is soon demonstrated, and at the conclusion of the episode, we realize that her wit has saved her husbands from impending slavery. Draupadiās resentment at having been so insulted by her husbandsā relatives does not die easily. Her desire forrevenge is strong, and she rarely is able to pass up an opportunity to complain to her husbands, particularly Yudhisthira, about her ill-treatment and her ill-luck at having such a lot for husbands. To some extent, one can attribute the ļ¬nal war to Draupadiās continual harping on the insult she received in the assembly and her husbandsā failure to avenge it. Draupadi, whose indignation at her treatment has only intensiļ¬ed, complains bitterly to the Vrsni hero [Krishna]."
