Critical Edition Just said Drupada always wanted to have Arjuna as his son in law.


Excerpt


yajasenasya kamas tu pandavaya kiritine

krishnam dadym iti sada na chaitad vivrinoti sah.


Yajnasena always cherished the desire of bestowing his daughter on Kiriti (Arjuna), the son of Pandu. But he never spoke of it to anybody. And, O Janamejaya, the king of Panchala thinking of Arjuna caused a very stiff bow to be made that was incapable of being bent by any except Arjuna. Causing some machinery to be erected in the sky, the king set up a mark …


As per unabridged editions the yajna That was done by Yaja clearly mentioned the purposes.


A son who could kill Drona and a daughter who could marry Arjuna.


bhAradvAjasya hantAraM devIM chApyarjunasya vai .

lokastadveda yachchApi tathA yAjena me shrutam .. 1


Panchali was born from fire. Panchali was born for Arjun..


Just like Drishtadyumna was destined to kill Drona,Panchali was destined to marry Arjuna.


So the janma Sankar That happens since the birth influences the person.

Lol drapaud wanting arjuna as Son in law. And drapaudi being born for oh so great arjuna are twi different things

And the expert posted is just before Swamyvaar much after drapaudi s so called fire birth. 

This was what was said during panchali s fire birth

Supreme among women, this beauty of

the dark complexion will bring about the destruction of the Kshatriyas. In time, this one with

the beautiful waist will perform the objective of the gods. From her will arise terrible fear

among the Kshatriyas

If  

 you believe divinity this was. A prophecy and if not this was a plan

And panchali was a girl whom the "gods" whoever they were based on which angle we beileve trusted to excute the plan successfully. A beautiful intelligent gutsy woman with higher purpose in life 

No i am sorry she was not born for arjun or anybody else sakes. She has higher purpose to serve

None of the pandava deserved her.

Bori Critical Edition And northern Edition did not mention about one year rule.


Excerpt

And the rule they made was that when one of them would be sitting with Draupadi, any of the other four who would see that one thus must retire into the forest for twelve years, passing his days as a Brahmacharin.


As per this,whoever sees another with Draupadi should live in the forest for 12 years.

Southern versions…1 year rule.

Southern Recension got this one year rule.

O King! As the great Narada addressed them thus ,with mutual consent they made a rule in the presence of that Devine sage of supreme power...


Blemishless Draupadi will live one year in each brother’s house. He who happens to see Draupadi sitting with another should live in the forest as a celibate for 12 months.

The marriage was performed for five days..Every day that slender waisted Panchali became a virgin ( after the completion of marriage with each brother)

The Eldest husband will be the father in-law also..The youngest one will be the brother in law( devar) also. The middle ones will be the father in law,husband and brother in law ( devar) three ( relationships ) for three ..( brothers) .


Precisely


Bheema Arjuna and Nakula are the middle ones.


Eldest Yudhishtir is husband and father in law.


. youngest Sahadeva is husband and brother In law.


The middle ones who are three in number will have three roles husband ,father in law and brother in law.

If she is Sahadeva ‘s wife all the four will be fathers in law and they will be husbands and also younger brothers in law when she is Yudhishtir’s wife.

I go with Bori because the one year rule and the way it designed different roles each for every Pandava (husband,brother in law,father in law) looked erratic,outlandish,eccentric and wierd.


No woman can treat her husband as brother in law or father in-law or whatever it is..a husband always remains a husband for every woman. Draupadi is no exception.

2.Panchali’s description of her five husbands to Jayadhratha overrules the claim of one year rule.

She addressed each of them as her husband..for instance

Excerpt


And there, that foremost of bowmen, endued with intelligence and renown, with senses under complete control and reverence for the old--that brother and disciple of Yudhishthira--is my husband Dhananjaya!

In the same way she described the other four as her husbands.

3. Panchali never restrained herself from interacting with any four husbands ,giving preference to only one. Case in point,she boldly revealed before her other husbands,how she was missing Arjuna in Kamyaka forest.If she belonged to any one particular Pandava she was not entitled to behave that way.

4. Similarly Panchali straightly went to Bhima when she was troubled by Kichaka..did she belong to Bhima that year? Not necessary…

.When Pandavas were travelling to Virat Kingdom,Yudhishtira asked each of his brother to carry Draupadi who could not walk ,before finally entrusting Arjuna to hold her.If she belonged only to one Pandava ,Yudhishtira would never have asked the other brothers who Ofcourse declined due to fatigue


Mutual understanding,respect for the rights of others and unity ..these factors worked positively towards sustinence Of such polyandrous marriage.

Ofcourse above all Panchali’s dignity,patience,forbearance and commitment worked wonders in making the five brothers live peacefully without any complaints.Her equation with each Pandava might be different but her devotion?Same towards all the five.

Lakshmi is Arjun fan. She will twist the epic to make anything and everything about Arjun. 


Mahabharata is Vyasa's. He wanted Yudhi Draupadi marriage. 


And Drupad was bride's father,  what he thought wanted and never told anyone doesn't matter. 


I've already explained in the other thread.


A.  None of the pandavas were good enough for her. Even all 5 together. 

B. She was not born for anyone. If at all she was born as per the prophecy it was for destruction of evil. 


C.  Arjuna did not have it in him to destroy evil,  because evil were his own relatives. Krishna had to push him,  cajole him,  threaten him and become his frigging charioteer to get the job done.  And if destruction of evil is the barometer than Bhima would win because he did the actual killing of the evil. 


So no.  Draupadi was not born for Arjun. That is the opinion of Arjun fans and their opinion doesn't count as story belongs to Vyasa


He wanted Draupadi as queen and wife of Yudhishtir
