There is no mention of Pragiti in the epic.

Some folk tales mention her.
Personally, I really want to believe that she did exist, but there is no proof.
Besides, no daughter is mentioned in the epic, except Dusshala.
Is it possible that every child in the Kuru Dynasty was a boy, n there was not a single girl?
I don't think so.
Maybe, she did exist, but since daughters did not take part in wars, that is y maybe , Ved Vyas did not think of mentioning them.

I want to believe it too!! It sounds so exciting, a daughter of Arjuna and Draupadi :D But I have heard about Sutanu.

hi
quite a thought provoking question:
though in every epic its repeatedly said that one is blessed to have daughters but none of the major heroes actually have daughters . be it pandavas , kauravas , lord Ram or lord Krishna(10 sons from each wife all of whose names are mentioned...but any daughters names anywhere???)...none have daughters or its not mentioned. why???
maybe being a women in those times wasnt really a blessed life for the parents - i mean look at Uttara - married to Lord Krishna's nephew, still only 6 months of married life then lifetime widow and deliverd a dead child - she kindagot very raw deal in life!!
maybe thats why the Lords and others were not keen to have any daughters!!

After reading Krishnaa's OS on Arjun -Pragiti,I have searched for a long time to make one solid proof for her existence..😳
But sadly I couldnt find any info regarding her..Not only pragiti ,there are no proof for the existence of any female progenies of Pandavas or Karna..
