This is one of my favorite books ...so going through that book is always a pleasure

I guess they are talking about the emotional and physical bonding that they have to the world at that point...when you are still bound to someone or something separation becomes that much more difficult right? i mean you are always wondering how your actions will impact them or the surroundings around ...which is almost like an albatross around your neck , in other words a baggage...

In some places i have read that Draupadi is the incarnation of Shree, so I guess their souls had to meet 😊

Then my theory:

Even though he knows his family history, where is it said that a father should not be apprehensive ; Drishta goes berserk hearing this and this would of course happen to a protective father and a brother ; Dhrupad knows it as history but when something like that comes to his own door step he would want to be extra careful/protective about his daughter and that is why the deliberations.

and if you already want to believe that it was a drama staged by Yudi then so be it ; I have my own reasons not to , also of what consequence is my answer to if you already want to believe otherwise but even then you have my answer.😊

I only want to say that Drau was never a victim of polyandry and if she was called names in dyut sabha because she was married to many ; she doesn't necessarily becomes that ! Saying that (she was a victim) according to me is the under estimation of the strength of her soul, her character.

Vashishtha dharma sutra says "A woman is never unchaste even if she is taken by force, confined by meanest of persons and hence should never be abandoned by her care takers"

and you already know how someone spoke in epic😆 then I will not go into it either😉

You subscribe to the staged drama theory going by Satya Chaitanya's article?

That Dhrupad did not know Panchala history is out of question ; the princess Bhaumashvi was a descendant of Ushinara a Rajarshi from Srnjaya group of Panchala ; Srnjayas are cousins to Somakas whose descendant was Dhrupad

Since you talk about theory, or rather ask:

Then my theory:

Vyasa reminds him of various previous lives of Drau one of which is the story of Bhaumashvi; which is listed by BORI as 'other' stories

How fathers are apprehensive about their daughters marriage and well being is expressed by Sita as well, in her conversation with Anasuya , saying 'a father though might be the greatest man on earth but will behave like a common man when it comes to finding a(worthy) groom for his daughter ...

Exactly...I too have the same idea.
Many people believe that Kunti n Yudisthir had planned everything...Although there is no definite proof of that in the text, I too find this reason quite plausible.
Bcoz Yudisthir n the twins had arrived before...the other 3 had come back later after battling with kings.
It's hard to believe that Yudisthir, who was known for his honesty would hide such an important news from Kunti, on reaching the potter's hut. How come Yudisthir n the twins reached early n said nothing to Kunti?
Kunti must have asked where the other 2 are...I dont think Yudisthir would have lied to his mother, or hide such an important news.

I am not an expert in various versions...n I know KMG does not exactly confirm this...But still I find this explanation quite plausible. Coz, if Kunti's words had been ab honest mistake, then I dont think it would have been such a big deal...or so I feel.

Right...if all 5 had remained loyal to her...that would have been one thing. But they all married again...
So, yes her power remained intact...but she probably suffered in the emotional front...or so I feel.

Wow Diala...fot the first...I am agreeing with everything ur saying...u are saying exactly wat I have in my heart... 😉 😳
