Laxmi was also the goddess of wealth so when it says pandavas "enjoyed" her it means refers to wealth and prosperity that drapaudi brought in their lives. It also refers to the time when she rescued them from duryodhan and co after yudhishtra royally messed up and it also means army that panchal provide them with in the war. You have to take into consideration that Mahabharata was a poem so naturally there will lot of metaphors similes symbolism not everything has to be taken literally

Means 2 kuch bhi ho sakta hai . Panchal was already a wealthy kingdom before Draupadi birth also .

No doubt panchal had helped Pandavas majorly by giving military & financial support as Draupadi was married to Pandavas.

That's why I gave u example of subhadra .

Lord krishna wanted justice for Draupadi a woman who was wronged by all men present in that sabha , with no fault of her own .

Be it Draupadi be it Subhadra lord krishna reaction would have been d same .

Logically speaking, a man doesn't make those promises unless there is deep emotion involved. (Stars, Himalaya, etc.).

Logically speaking, a man doesn't promise I will do whatever your husbands can do.

CE, Volume 2, Kairata Parva, 310

Do not sorrow. I will do whatever the Pandavas can do. I

Logically speaking, when a man sides with Panchali whenever he was faced with differing paths from Arjuna and Panchali, you might assume that man thought more of her than Arjuna no matter what he might have vocalized at other points.

Logically speaking, a man doesn't go to say private goodbyes (after Khandava dahana) to a woman merely married to a friend.

Logically speaking, a man doesn't forget the heinous killing of a nephew only 3 days ago and fume over an assault which happened over 13 years ago.

But I understand the idea makes you uncomfortable. So imagine what you will.

But that certainly does not and will not change the importance drapaudi had in Krishna s life or the pain he felt for her

Maybe she is not part of krishna's text but in reality it she who is worshipped with him world widely .

Even after janamashtami , there radha ashtami is also celebrated.

Doesn't make her any less of fan fiction. Actually have my doubts about existence of Krishna's wives except Satyabhama and Jambavati.

Arey madam intni si toh baat h panchal kyun support karta pandava ko agar drapaudi ka sawal nahi hot. Logic right ??

There is no Goddess Swargalakshmi, either.

Shri is Lakshmi. No two ways.

Vyasa didn't call Panchali lower case shri for to be the grace of heaven. He called her Shri herself. The goddess.

Actually, I'm not sure why I'm continuing this when I dont believe in avatars😆. Panchali was a flesh and blood woman, born to flesh and blood parents. Looked at that way, Krishna's reaction to her is not simply that of Arjuna's friend. That being said, I don't really care about any of the romances unless and until someone starts shopping her with the wannabe rapist. Then, I get mad.

Vyas mentioned her celestial shree. U don't believe in something that does meant that think don't exist only .

There r two shree . U can search 4 it.

Goddess Mahalakshmi don't have a reason to take birth as Draupadi coz she take birth 2 be with narayan she is soulmate of narayan .

If Draupadi was goddess Lakshmi , then war would have been 2 personal for lord krishna as he would have picked d weapon .

There is no separate Goddess Sri. That's an excuse usually used to explain the discomfort away.

Secondly, Indra didn't appoint. If you read the whole scene, Rudra/Shiva is explaining this to Arjuna. Then they told permission from Hari.

I don't believe in avatar too, I believe divinity was later interpolation, now I don't see a logical reason for religious people to think that Draupadi (Married to 5 Pandavas, avatar of Indras) is Goddess Laxmi (Wife of Lord Vishnu), I mean divine notions were assigned years after right? They could have simply stated that Pandavas were part of Lord Vishnu, why would they add Draupadi being Goddess Laxmi?

This is the reason I believe Draupadi is not Sri (Wife of Lord Vishnu), She is Sri from Swarga an avatar of Sachi or Indra, this is backed by citations too where Rukmini is mentioned as Sri and Draupadi as Sachi or celestial Sri

Celestial Sri and Sri was their way of distinguishing between these two people like there are 4 Krishnas, Arjun is seldom referred to as Krishna but Vasudeva Krishna is Lord Krishna, Krishnaa is Draupadi

Neither satyabhama not jambavati r lord krishna chief consort. Rukmini is patrani of lord krishna who is incarnation of mahalakshmi .

Lord krishna had 8 wives & 16000 junior wives . His 8 wives r consider to be different form of mahalakshmi.

Actually Nora there is no point of discussion , coz people r not ready to think d logic behind mahalakshmi not taking birth as Draupadi.

Infact Draupadi is considered very sacred & pious virgin amoung 4 others . She got this position coz of her relationship with Pandavas not coz of lord krishna.
