Some sources do say she had a small part of Lakshmi in her, Srutha, since Arjuna as Nara also had a small part of Vishnu in him, and thus to match the Vishnu in him, Draupadi also had a part of Lakshmi in her.

But she was mostly Kali, and other Goddesses.

Yet, for me, I can't see Arjuna as an avatar of Lord Narayana. Even a partial ansh. Just the way I cannot see Drapuadi as Mahalakshmi ansh, I can't see Arjuna as a partial ansh of Narayana.
I do know who Nara-Narayana are, but there are two references to Nara. One is Nara, the man, the student. The other are the twin sages. It was the student and the God who reincarnated, and not the two sages who were forms of Lord Narayana 😳

I guess either could make sense, but for me, Arjuna and Draupadi do have a small part of Lakshmi Narayan in them.

Some sources do 😳

But for me, from what I have read of her, though I can see Kali, Sachi, Bharathi and various others, I can't see Lakshmi in her, just like I can;t see Narayana in Arjuna 😳

If Draupadi has a part of Lakshmi in her then other 4 Pandavas too should have a part of Narayana in them, not only Arjun.

I am confused. At the Swargarohana Parva Draupadi is seen as Shri but I don't know whether she is Shridevi or Dharma-Patni Shri (the 7 wives of Dharma are Shri, Kirti, Dhriti, Kshamaa etc).

Dharma-Patni Shri 😳

Shridevi is only for Rukmini 😳

The Shri that Draupadi is referred to is Dharma's wife Shri, not Shridevi.

And Vishnu Purana says only Nara/Paarth had that partial form of Vishnu in him, which is why it was him that had to win the swayamvar of Draupadi/Lakshmi, but since she was also Parvathi, she belonged equally to all five Pandavas, but the Nara in Paarth won the Lakshmi in Draupadi.

But yes, the Pandavas were also ansh of their respective fathers, and whenever Draupadi was their wife, the incarnation of their divine wife came out in her.

Okay...next question -

Why are Mahadev's wives present in the form of Mata Sati / Mata Parvati? Why not Adishakti Herself in her truest form?

AadiShakti means primary/primordial Shakti. For each of the Tridevon, they have their own Aadi Shakti.

For Lord Shiva, it is Maa Parvati/Maa Sati. Which is why, people always say Shiva-Parvati 😳
