Request to Wikipedia expert to update pages related to Pandavas and Draupadi
A user named NairaAdhya has changed lot of information regarding Pandavas marriage to Draupadi to her marriage with Arjuna only. I hope any expert will correct this information. Also she has changed the information of other pages related to Pandavas and Draupadi Sahilkadam11000 (talk) 06:56, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
Uncited content.
There is a lot of uncited content in the article, making the article appear vague. Riteze (talk) 17:46, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Paragraph 3 of Draupadi#Game of dice and humiliation:
After her husbands fail to assist her, Draupadi prays to Krishna to protect her. Dushasana attempts to disrobe her, but she is miraculously protected by Krishna, and Dushasana finds that as he continues to unwrap the layers of her sari, the amount of fabric covering her never lessens. Dushasana is eventually reduced to exhaustion, as the awed court observes that Draupadi is still chastely dressed. At this point, a furious Bhima vows to drink blood from Dushasana's chest, at the pain of not seeing his ancestors/entering heaven. This vow unsettles the entire court.

Draupadi is not the goddess of prosperity
Draupadi is regarded as Swarga Sri—not as the goddess of prosperity. There’s hardly any acknowledgement with her connection to the goddess of prosperity (Sri Lakshmi). Srinidhij (talk) 18:23, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Srinidhij: Firstly, article never states her as "goddess of prosperity", it states that she is an incarnation of Shri and is associated with her. Secondly, Kindly read the body of the article and the secondary sources provided, or read the actual Mahabharata — Draupadi is referenced as avatar of Sri multiple times in the epic, most important being the Panchendra Upakhyana in the Adi Parva, and the ending of Svargoahana Parva where everyone is revealed being an avatar. Before u comment "oh no she is Shachi/Swarga Lakshmi, not Sri" kindly familiarise yourself with the interpolations and Critical Edition of Mahabharata. The instance of Draupadi being Shachi only occurs once in Sambhava Parva, which has been proven by scholars as being interpolation, also there is no confirmation that Swarga Shri is Shachi. In the Mahabharata, Draupadi is both call Shri and SwargaShri: thus Swarga Shri has been used interchangeably with Shri, not as distinct, pls see scholarly analysis on this topic. The epic is filled with verses stating Draupadi being Shri. Puranas won't be valid here, since the article primarily talks about her role in Mahabharata.Seyamar💬📜 18:31, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
