6-Bheel MBH |
This piece of information is from Bheel Mahaabhaarat. It is indeed quite different from what we read and hear everyday --- If somebody takes the sex in a religious book, it seems that there is no other book compared to Mahaabhaarat in that matter. All kinds of sex matters have been occurred or mentioned in it - premarital sex (Kuntee, Satyavatee), extramarital sex (Kuntee, Madayantee,) as if those things were normal and common in those days, or was looked at it with respect; and cross dressing (Saamb as a woman) too. Unnatural births - y hitting stones on the stomach (Gaandhaaree, Madayantee, Vinataa), or prolonged pregnancies (Gaandhaaree, Madayantee, Vinataa), or even immediate child birth (Ved Vyaas, Ghatotkach). It also seems that if the king did not have a son, an heir to his throne, he invited some Rishi and had a child from him on his wife (Ambikaa and Ambaalikaa had Dhritraashtra and Paandu in this way by inviting Vyaas Jee; Madayantee had her son Ashmak in this way by inviting Vashishth Jee; Kuntee had her sons through inviting Devtaa). Draupadee had more freedom in this regard. She had the opportunity to have sex with five men, still at one time she craves for the body of Karn. She says - "I have been watching him practicing the display of swords and other weapons. My body and mind craves his strong embrace." This incident is given in Bheel Mahaabhaarat - "One day Draupadee was sitting in her palace and a strand of her golden hair beaks and reaches Vaasuki Naag living in the dark dungeons of the underworld. Seeing that hair he goes crazy over that strand of hair and decides to go to Earth to find the owner of that strand of hair. He mounts his horse and comes to Hastinaapur. Now quoting from Bheel MBH - "Seeing him approaching, Draupadee gets up to go to the inner chambers. But before she can do so, Vaasuki swings the whip and lashes it at Draupadee’s thin waste. Draupadee runs, falls down, her scarf moves off her head and Vaasuki realizes this is the woman he has been looking for. He rushes towards her and falls over her. Draupadee shouts at him and asks him to get away if he wants to remain alive, for the Paandav would kill him if they come to know of his being here. Ignoring her words, Vaasuki picks her up and carries her to her bed." Draupadi falls for this guy wondering who he is and bathes him. Meanwhile, Arjun arrives to the scene. "The fight that ensues is terrible – it takes the two of them down to Paataal, back to the earth, then to the skies. Eventually Vaasuki defeats Arjun, and sitting on his chest, ties up his hands and legs with a hair pulled out from his moustache. He then hoists him up onto a peg on the wall." That's right, Arjuna is bound and hangs on to the wall. From Bheel MBH - "Draupadee now gets her bed ready fit for them. Fragrant flowers are spread on it, musk and flower essences are sprinkled. Seated on the bed, the Paandav queen and the king of Paataal play a game of dice. Arjun hanging from the peg is a witness to the game. After the game of dice, the two of them move on to another game. Draupadee and Vaasuki have sex, now tenderly, now furiously, right before his eyes. Their games are now hot, now tender and poor Arjun watches it all helplessly." "........In the morning Vaasuki leaves promising to come back again in the evening. Before leaving, he picks up his shining sword and cuts off the whisker with which he had bound Arjun’s hands and feet. Arjun falls to the ground with a thud." Now it turns out that only Karn can defeat Vaasuki Naag with a dagger which the Sun God has. Arjun is reluctant to the help, so Draupadee devises a plan and Arjun goes and insults Karn asking him who is his real father? This is when Karn comes to know through Kuntee that he's son of the Sun God. Karn goes to meet the Sun god, and the Sun gives him the dagger amongst others. Once he has the Dagger, our protagonist the Draupadee goes to Karn and requests for his help. Karn's awesomeness was that no matter what, he would never said "No" if someone asked for anything from him. Vaasuki Naag ends up begging for his life, and Karn, with his awesomeness again, lets him go on his request as he can never say "No" to anybody who asks him anything.
