Publisher's Summary

द्रौपदी महाभारत ही नहीं, भारतीय जीवन तथा संस्कृति का एक अत्यन्त विलक्षण और महत्वपूर्ण चिरत्र है-परन्तु साहित्य ने अब तक उसे प्रायः छुआ नहीं था। उपन्यास के रूप में इस रचना का एक विशिष्ट पक्ष यह भी है कि इसे एक महिला ने उठाया और वाणी दी है, जिस कारण वे इसके साथ न्याय करने में पूर्ण कफल हुई हैं। प्रतिभा राय उड़िया की अग्रणी लेखिका हैं। 

Please note: This audiobook is in Hindi.

Very nice

i had Gujarati version of this book for ages but never got around reading it. So when I saw this title on audible I immediately bought it. It is basically the whole story of Mahabharat told from the point of view of Draupadi. Writer Pratibha Rai has done full justise to the character of Draupadi. Most of us believe that Draupadi was very arrogant and it was her arrogance that played pivotal role in war that took place in Kurukshetra. But when you listen to this story from her point of view, you can feel her pain and agony. You also get to know her positives, her weakness (for Karna), her longing for Arjun and her devotion towards Krishna. All of these will give you a different perspective of Draupadi.

This book was originally written in Odia but hindi translation is also very good except the use of few urdu words which rings bell in your ears if you are a language enthusiast. But the narration is very nice. The narrator has in born pain in her voice which works as a bridge between listeners and the character of Draupadi here. Over all it is a very good book to listen if you want to understand the story of Mahabharat from angles.

Just amazing

Writing a review for this book will be a disrespect for the book. This is simply amazing and everyone needs to read this. If you are a hardcore feminist you're not gonna like it but if you are a literature enthusiast.... you'll just love the beauty of this book. The performance is amazing and it enhanced my experience of reading the book.....just loved it.

पांचाली, महाभारत की असली नायिका

क्लिष्ट और संस्कृतगर्भित हिंदी में वर्णित यह उपन्यास, आपको तथाकथित द्वापर युग के भारत में ले जाता है जब आप द्रौपदी की आंखों से उस वक्त के भारत का दर्शन करते हैं जो आज दिन की तरह पितृसत्तात्मक रीति-रिवाजों और जाति प्रथा एवं लिंगभेद से भरा पड़ा था। धर्म के रक्षक एक स्त्री को आमोद प्रमोद और व्यापार की वस्तु बनाकर आपस में बांट लेते हैं और धर्म की रक्षा के लिए सर्वनाश करने पर उतारू है।अपनी जीवन लीला समाप्त करने के बाद स्वर्ग की ओर जाती हुई द्रोपदी जब अपने dakha कृष्ण से दुनिया में सिर्फ स्थाई शांति का वरदान मांगती है तो ऐसा लगता है कि उसके भगवान ने उसकी नहीं सुनी। यह उपन्यास आपको भारत की संस्कृति के दर्शन कराती है जो हमेशा से पितृसत्तात्मक, रूढ़िवादी और जातिवाद रही है!

लेखिक को प्रिय प्रयास के लिए बधाई

एक बढ़िया प्रयास किया नारी मन के अंतर्द्वंद, वेदना और शक्ति को दर्शाने का। उसपर रूपा की आवाज ने पूरा न्याय किया हर भाव को प्रकट करने का। शब्दो का आकलन बढ़िया रहा सभी टीम को धन्यवाद।

Mythology is not in-depth explained

when I started listening to this audio book, my expectations were high, in a hope that I will get some different knowledge but this book after reading more than hours I did not get feeling of attaching to it. poetic description of some events looked
artificial.
