520 |a This article discusses the marital relationship of Draupadi, the heroine of the Mahabharata, and her five husbands, the Pandava brothers, with a focus on Draupadi’s connection to fire. Using textual analysis, the article examines the epic’s portrayal of interactions between Draupadi and her husbands to demonstrate how the epic explores Draupadi’s link to fire. Beginning with her birth from a sacrificial fire altar, Draupadi’s association with fire colors her behavior throughout the epic, including her relationships with her husbands. Her fiery personality can be seen as she incites her husbands out of passivity and into action, often on her own behalf. She ignites within them the spark that often leads to the main actions of the epic’s plot.
