Draupadi at the swayamvara

(R. Wilson, Indian Story Book,

illustrated by Frank Pape, 1914)

Reading Notes:

• Did Duryodhana, who was raised with his cousins, not recognize them at Draupadi's swayamwara?
• Draupadi comes off as super rude and very arrogant. 
• Kunti could not take her words back to avoid the Pandavas falling apart?! How could she ask them to share this bride without asking her? 
• Agni burned the forest and laid the ground to build Indraprastha.
• Yudhishtra gave people mansions.
• In this version, Arjuna knew that he should not enter Yudhishtra's chambers, and yet he did. 
• Arjun maarried, Ullupi, Chitrangada, and Subhadra
