Draupadi Five Husbands Story: Draupadi was among the most powerful women of the Mahabharata period. Draupadi was not born from anyone’s womb, rather she descended from the Yagya Kund of King Drupada. That is why Draupadi is also called Yagyaseni. One of the reasons due to which the Mahabharata war took place is the insult to Draupadi. Draupadi was the wife of Pandavas.

He was married to all five Pandavas. However, very few people know that Draupadi’s marriage with the five Pandavas was the result of her unfulfilled wish from her previous birth. In her desire to get more in her previous birth, Draupadi made such a mistake that she got five husbands in her next life. Let us know the story of Draupadi’s previous birth. Also know the secret of her five husbands.

According to the story…

Vyasji has written the story of Draupadi’s birth in the Adiparva of Mahabharata. According to the story, Draupadi i.e. Yagyaseni, born from Yagya, was born in a poor Brahmin family in her previous life. Because of this the Brahmin woman did not get any happiness from her husband. One day Brahmini’s husband died of illness. After which the Brahmin became a widow. After the death of the widow Brahmin’s husband, she was tortured by the society.

There was no one to earn money in that Brahmin’s house. That’s why she always growled on an hungry stomach. One night the woman thought that if something similar happened to her in her next life, she would once again have to bear the burden of unfulfilled desires. Therefore he started doing severe penance for Lord Shiva. After many years of penance, Mahadev appeared happy.

Mahadev gave boon

That Brahmin asked Mahadev to have a husband with all the qualities in her next life, but all the qualities she told were impossible to be found in any one human being. Brahmini prayed to Mahadev five times. In the end, Mahadev gave a boon to the woman according to her stubbornness. The unfulfilled desires of her previous birth became the basis of Draupadi’s five husbands. In Mahabharata, King Dupadra of Panchal country married his daughter Draupadi.

Pandu’s son Arjun won the marriage of Draupadi. When Arjun reached the forest with all his brothers and Draupadi. Then he said to Mother Kunti, Mother, see what we have brought for you. Without listening to Arjun’s entire story, Mother Kunti said that whatever you have brought, the five brothers should divide it among themselves. When Mother Kunti saw Draupadi, she became angry. He said that you used the word object for the girl. Now share it and show it.

Shri Krishna told the secret of previous birth

Draupadi became very angry after hearing this from Kunti, but Shri Krishna told Draupadi the secret of her previous birth. He told Draupadi that this is the result of the boon you had asked for in your previous birth, which Mahadev had given you. After this, Draupadi was married to the five Pandavas Yudhishthir, Arjun, Bhima, Nakul and Sahadev. In this way, Draupadi’s mistake in her previous birth made her the wife of five husbands.
