Is there nothing at all?” She said, “Nothing.” Then he said, “Show me the bowl.”Īt the time when the news of Durvasa’s arrival reached her, Draupadi had just finished eating and was yet to go and wash the bowl. I have nothing to offer.” Krishna said, “Why only Durvasa? I’m also hungry. He will be back from his bath any minute. I don’t want this sage to curse us now, when we are already down.” Krishna had promised her earlier, “Whenever you call, I will be there.” He appeared and Draupadi told him her plight, “Durvasa is here with his disciples. She called out to Krishna, “Oh Krishna, only you can save me! Do something. Durvasa may curse you for a hundred years.

Twelve years plus one year in exile was already a big enough disaster. She knew a curse from Durvasa would be disastrous for them. At the most, they could have gone hunting, but Durvasa did not eat meat. And there was no point bothering her husbands either. There was no point asking anyone around, because there was no one there who could provide food. Then, Draupadi came to know about their arrival, and she was in great distress.
Durvasa and his disciples went to the river to have their ritual bath. The Pandavas welcomed him and said, “Please have your ritual bath in the river and then please come for food.” They did not know Draupadi had already eaten, which meant food would not come again before the next day.
Naturally, being a well-known sage, he expected a certain level of hospitality. When they arrived, late in the afternoon, Durvasa and his disciples were very hungry from walking all the way from Hastinapur. Then Durvasa would get angry, which for sure would be a disaster for her and her five husbands. Duryodhana wanted to make sure Durvasa and his entourage reached only after Draupadi had already eaten, so that she would have nothing to serve them. But actually, the Pandavas and Draupadi were not informed about the impending visit of Durvasa and his few hundred disciples. Please go and bless my brothers.” Duryodhana told Durvasa that arrangements will be made at the camp for him and his people, and he sent his men to guide them to the Pandavas’ camp in the forest. As you have blessed me, they must also receive your blessings. Duryodhana wanted to change that.Ī few days into Durvasa’s stay with him, Duryodhana suggested, “My brothers, Pandu’s sons, are in the forest because of some unfortunate circumstances. Things were going well for the Pandavas in the forest. According to him, such things were not supposed to happen in the forest exile. The fact that the Pandavas were eating well and that they were even entertaining guests made Duryodhana furious. People kept coming to visit the Pandavas in the forest, and because of this bowl, Draupadi was able to feed them well. By then, Duryodhana had come to know about the Akshaya Patra, the bowl that Draupadi had received from the sun god. When he saw Durvasa, Duryodhana prostrated, welcomed him, brought him to the palace and offered him the best possible hospitality to keep him happy. When Duryodhana came to know that Durvasa was on his way to Hastinapur, he went outside the gates of the city to receive him, which was a very unusual thing to do for Duryodhana. Wherever sage Durvasa went, everyone was on their toes to make sure that he did not get angry. He was the one who cursed Shakuntala (an earlier queen of Hastinapur). He was the one who blessed Kunti with the mantra. Wherever he went, if he was pleased, he would bless them.

The Mahabharat and even the Ramayan are full of his curses. For the smallest things, he would flare up and curse people.
Sadhguru: Sage Durvasa came to Hastinapur. Duryodhana, along with Karna, wanted to hunt down the unarmed Pandavas, but upon Vidura’s pleading, Dhritarashtra did not allow this. Surya Deva, the sun god, gives Draupadi the Akshaya Patra, a bowl that provides an abundant supply of food every day until Draupadi herself eats. The battle produces complex conflicts of kinship and friendship, instances of family loyalty and duty taking precedence over what is right, as well as the converse.What has happened so far: The Pandavas are exiled in the forest for twelve plus one years. Both Duryodhana and Yudhisthira claim to be first in line to inherit the throne.The struggle culminates in the great battle of Kurukshetra, in which the Pandavas are ultimately victorious.
