after geetha gyaan arjun had spiritual enlightenment n he was never interested in worldly pleasures!! aka he was a saint in rajkumar's skin!!!

true now more of geeta gyan will be shown even after war ,,,,again krishna will rescue drau n pandavs from the loss of their children but yeh ardi will be less now

That part was so sweet and sad. But I just can't believe Dharma refused to leave Panchali, he was just not that nice 😭 to her

in epic bheem only stood beside her until she closed her eyes!! dharmaraj insisted all not to look back or walk back!!

yes the best part of this epic is unconditional love of bheem for panchali n arjun is somewhere too much obedient bro,,,,n krishna had told dharmraj ka dharma is old n conservative so i feel hiw dharma was also cause of war n wife is arthangini n how he orders bros to leave panchali when she lived with them in jungles for 12 yrs,,,other wives were in palaces like subadra but she went with them ,,,,pandavs were bound to go to vanvas not panchali

I just hope they continue to show Panchali

That article said Pooja is not on the sets as they are shooting war sequences

May be that means just a few seconds here and there of her like that prewar meeting or pooja

"You should sleep. I shall not leave before the sunrise." A quiet sob breaks from Bheema. She opens her eyes wide and exclaims, "Bheema, have you forgotten how Island-born Greatfather called up all the souls on the Bhagirathi river? What a festival it shall be when we shall meet like that." She turns to me and speaks a single word, "Krishna". It tugs at my soul. Now the moon is coming up, a first pale gleam on the world's rim. "Do not try to offer this body that housed Draupadi in fire. She was altar-born. She did what she had to do. Leave wind , water, and sky to take care of this outer sheath. I shall find my way with Lord Pushan Ekarishi, the one and only Seer." She closes her eyes.

😭she was so wonderful lady who on her last too was full of feeling n compassion 😭

What is it that we have left behind in Draupadi? Like our mother, she had bound us to each other and all that we stood for. In the fateful moments of our lives she had been our Dharma. There is no Dharmaraj without her. But when I have thought of all this there is still something that escapes me. In spite of all the hymns, in spite of all the Vedas, in spite of knowledge, I no longer feel myself. I try to fit myself into the pilgrim waiting for Yama but I am like a sword that rattles in a sheath too big. There is no purpose, no more battles to be fought, no one to fight for. Perhaps that is it. She was the emblem in our battles. She had loved me in a way to which I could not reply and to which now I never would. That is all in the past, though. We are walking down a trail with legs braced against the slope, but my mind has stayed behind like Dharma who will not leave Draupadi. This is not the way. Regrets about the past will be a burden in the next life. All that you do not leave behind will weigh you down. We have learnt that any extra weight inside your pouch in the high mountains becomes ten times as heavy as in the valley below. This, and everything about the mountains, is there to teach us something. Even now I have not learnt how to let go. And so I strain to understand.

so nice ppl will feel glad if such scenes of draupati n pandavs going to swarg or heaven are shown ,,,,a new chapter which we know but haven't seen os screen 😃

Another man smitten by Draupadi was none other than Ashwathama himself...acc to this GGS book:

This is Aswathama's POV at the swaymvar

Suddenly I heard my name. Introducing me he said, " There you can see the illustrious Ashwatthama, foremost of all wielders of weapons." For a moment I felt I had already won Draupadi. She looked straight at me with calm intelligence. That look stripped me of my virtue and failings equally. I was alone with myself and her. I had never been so glad to be the son of my father. He had taught me things which he had taught to no one but Arjuna. There was only one man who might do better than me and that was Karna, but then he had learnt with the great Bhargava himself. While it was no shame to be defeated by the pupil of Bhargava, I wanted Draupadi . I could already see myself handing back to her father half the kingdom that my father had won from him. He would return it to me together with his own. The universe had become friendly to me. I could pluck stars from the skies to stud the walls of our palace. Draupadi would walk, just as she walked up to the stage, but with Ashwatthama holding her hand. Her gait was her own; it possessed the auspicious sway of the elephant, but she did not droop from the weight of her lovely breasts as girls are taught but stood easily like a sapling.

Here is Arjun talking about the first solo exile:

There was a need in me to wander, almost like sickness. I suppose that was what had made me opt for self-exile when Yudhishthira with a sweet remorseful face had pressed me to ignore the penalty. In the end I had had to wink at him with both eyes so he would understand that I really wanted to go. Bheema had not needed the wink. At the thought of Yudhishthira, always reasonable, humble, and never taking offence, my heart grew sad .

This is before Jarasandh vadh:

"You were given the wisdom, Eldest. That is why you are the emperor. That is why Krishna and Vyasa uphold you. Can they both be wrong? Would you allow someone like Jarasandha to rule in your stead?" Eldest's hands twisted away and now he was grasping mine. "No," he said. "No..."

Draupadi soothed him and supported him and with her wit and tenderness roused him from his sadness but she could not entirely dispel the confusion that had descended upon his mind. Apart from Draupadi and sometimes the children, the only creature whose company Yudhishthira sought was his favourite dog Raja. I was certain they spoke to each other in silence, and I once heard Yudhishthira muttering, "You are lucky. You do not know who your cousins are." When Draupadi heard him she became angry. Once she said, "Stop it" you are an emperor. If you continue moaning and groaning, you will be born as a servant girl in your next life." We had all felt the lash of Draupadi's tongue . There was never a woman who addressed her husband as she did us when provoked. She had plenty to say to me about the "purpose" of my pilgrimage, and had made "Arjuna's pilgrimage" a by-word for irresponsibility. For myself, I knew that she loved me best, so I could ask if her other four husbands had not made up for one of me, but, in truth, I had not guessed that she ever spoke to Eldest so strongly. Yet it worked better than anything else.

LOL Sangeeta

Draupadi certainly gives new meaning to the term Bharthiya Naari (referring to her dealings with hubbies)

I wish there had been more like her

I love her taunts at 'Arjuna's pilgrimage'

Shows that she wasn't too happy about him marrying 3 women while away on 'pilgrimage' and then showing up with one at their doorstep😆
