I would like to post a story which i came across . I am not sure if Krishna will use something like this in the show .

It mainly describes how krishna convinces Draupadi to talk to her husbands . I found this very interesting and funny as well .😆

It starts like this : The five Pandavs are worried. Not because they have had to leave the glitz and glamour of their capital and go to the forest for thirteen years of exile, one of which they are required to spend incognito; not because they are aware that Duryodhan would never return their kingdom at the end of this period and they would have to fight their Kaurav relations; but because Panchali has stopped talking to them for the last one month

Important highlights of Krishna-Draupadi conversation


Having exchanged the customary pleasantries, Krishna asked with a smile,

"My dear Krishnaa, why is your moon-like face looking like a blackened kitchen- pot?"

Draupadi said, " Krishna, your levity is not appreciated
."

Krishna said, "What is your problem? Tell me how the Pandavs have failed to meet your needs. Do you want fine muslin or jeweled ornaments? Or perfumes perhaps? It is true that grains and cereals are not easily available here. It is quite possible that a monotonous diet of meat, fruits and roots has made you lose appetite and consequently, made you unhappy. Shall I send you cereals and pulses? Do you want a cow to give you milk? Or perhaps, butter, oil, sugar, salt, turmeric and ginger? Shall I send you ten or twenty bottles of exquisite wine? We have various kinds of wines and spirits available at Dvaraka. Here, of course, you may not get anything but toddy."

Draupadi said, "No, no, I don't want any of those things. Madhav, you are wise. People say that you are also omniscient. Can you tell me the reasons for my misfortune? Have you seen any person as unfortunate as me?"

Krishna said, " Oh, many. Ask any of my wives. Each of them will tell you that she is the one and only hapless wretch in this world and an ill-starred person. They are of the firm opinion that I am the sole cause of all their temporal and spiritual disasters. Krishnaa, don't worry. God is great."

"You are a stooge of God. You can only see his magnanimity, not his cruelty."

"Yajnaseni, why are you thinking only of your misfortunes? Remember all the good things that have happened to you. You are the queen of Indraprasth. Whose glory is greater than yours? These bad times will not last; you will soon regain your lost status. You have risen from fire, you are exquisitely beautiful, your father, Drupad, king of Panchal, is still alive and you have two very brave and powerful brothers. Your five sons are receiving education at Dvaraka along with Abhimanyu. You have five great husbands, four younger and four elder brothers-in-law."

"Where did you get these brothers-in-law? I have nothing to do with the sons of Dhritarashtra."

"Your brothers-in-law are here with you. Have you not heard the couplet:

The eldest Pandav is Panchali's husband and eldest brother-in-law; the youngest Pandav is her husband and the youngest brother-in-law. The other three are husbands and both younger and elder brothers-in-law'."


"Bah! Ain't I lucky!"


"Panchali, don't be angry. There is none in the world who can be called faultless. Yudhisthir is a simpleton and he loves a game of dice. That is why all this has happened. He is repentant. So, don't torture him any more. Your other husbands are obedient to their eldest brother and so they really cannot go against his wishes. Don't consider them worthless."
