Know why Draupadi got five husbands

New Delhi: We all know that Draupadi had five husbands in form of Pandavas. But very few of us know that this was divine intervention rather than Kunti's mistake.In the epic Mahabharata, Draupadi is known



She was to be born several times for imprisoning the Indras.

1) First time was as Vedavati who cursed Ravana (who is another goddess Avatar Swaha, wife to Agni).

2) She then came again as Maya-Sita especially to take revenge from Ravana while Agni hid the real Sita.

3) Third one was partial either Damyanti (whose husband Nala was equivalent to Dharma, Vayu, Indra just like the Pandavas) and her daughter Nalayani.

4) Fourth one was when she married Sage Moudgalya.

5) The fifth avatar was Draupadi herself. So we find in Draupadi, a composite avatar of Kali, Parvati, Sachi, Shyamala, Usha, Bharati, Shree, Swaha, the eight goddesses.
