That is probably because Draupadi never sets a line of fire across Arjuna and Subhadra to cease their entrance into Indraprashta. Vyasa never wrote all of that. She gets very angry and doesn't accept Subhadra and points out that Arjuna has broken his vow. This was mere exaggeration.

This fire discussion raises so many questions - so in order of most important:
1) Does Agnidev prefer Draupadi to Arjun now?
2) Why did the sun not shine even harder because of this? I'm sure Suryadev was sort of angry too...
3) The fire was calmed by Subhi's prayers, so why was Arjun not the first to go...
4) Arjun so heroically jumped and dodged through the fire in the vastraharan scene... why couldn't he try the same thing
5) It looks like the fire didn't burn any of the flowers on the ground the first time it disappeared (when Yuddhi and the other Pandavas approached Arjun), but when Subhi made it go away with her prayers, it looked like some black burnt stuff was there... so what kind of fire is this?
6) Why didn't Arjun suggest that two pandavas stand over where the fire is (so it vanishes) and then have Arjun cross it...
7) why didn't Arjun just walk around the fire?

2) Why did the sun not shine even harder because of this? I'm sure Suryadev was sort of angry too... He was busy shining over Karna Vrishali love.. see Vrishali is preggy next week 😳

3) The fire was calmed by Subhi's prayers, so why was Arjun not the first to go... I found that fair enough.. it was Subhi's effort so she should be first

4) Arjun so heroically jumped and dodged through the fire in the vastraharan scene... why couldn't he try the same thing am sure it would have raised as high as he jumped..

5) It looks like the fire didn't burn any of the flowers on the ground the first time it disappeared (when Yuddhi and the other Pandavas approached Arjun), but when Subhi made it go away with her prayers, it looked like some black burnt stuff was there... so what kind of fire is this? she was eager to feast on Arjun and Subhi.. so dint care about the petals.. when Subhi put her off she thought ok will eat what I could

6) Why didn't Arjun suggest that two pandavas stand over where the fire is (so it vanishes) and then have Arjun cross it... a yodha will not go for work arounds..

7) why didn't Arjun just walk around the fire? same as above



serious answers I could think of

this serial is not going as per the epic so we should expect the unexpected

Actually, given the characterization of everyone here, this is what I think will happen
  • Duryodhan will send Dushashan & Karna to get Draupadi
  • Draupadi will grab the Gandhiva and create a fire to set them @ bay
  • Karna will put out the fire
  • A battle will start b/w Karna & Draupadi
  • While it is on, Dushashan will come from behind & grab Draupadi by the hair, and Karna will win
  • Dushashan will then drag Draupadi into court, followed by Karna
  • Duryodhan will then steal all of Karna's lines, calling her a prostitute and ordering Dushashan to strip her. I'm unclear on what Vikarna will do
  • Dhritarashtra will declare Draupadi an adharmi when Vidura intervenes. Gandhari will state that Draupadi disappointed her
  • When the Pandavas are sent into exile, Dhritarashtra will again seize Kunti, along w/ Indraprastha
  • Krishna will somehow have to smuggle Subhadra & Abhimanyu out of Indraprastha

After having a hearty laugh at all the humourous comments (seriously I am amazed at the humour in the forum,it makes going through the forum a great pleasure) here is my take on the original question albeit a serious one.I think Draupadi defending herself in the dice hall would have eternally damned her so called warrior husbands.It was left to her husbands to inflict all the damages on the evil kauravas.A similar question has often been asked about Sita in Ravan's captivity.I have heard commentators saying that if Sita wished she could have demolished entire Lanka with her yogic powers due to her pativrata dharm.But she refrained from doing so, infact, she even tells hanuman that Lord Ram should himself come and vanquish the demons and take her back to ayodhya.Even when Hanuman offered to take her on his shoulders she refused saying It will be an insult to Lord Ram's valour.

He won't have to smuggle them out. He'll just go up to Mamashree and look at him funny. Mamashree will personally bring them both over.
