Draupadī
Entry 7608, Page 273, Col. 2
(drOpadI, drOpadI)
? Draupadī¦, n. of a devakumārikā (or of two? see below) in the Western Quarter: Mv iii.308.9; LV 390.6. Mss. of both confused, and readings doubtful; Senart reads kṛṣṇā śukrā ca dr°, the dark and light Dr.; LV may go back to some such reading; some of its mss. and Lefm.'s. text contain kṛṣṇā. It hardly needs to be recalled that Kṛṣṇā was the name of the epic heroine known as Draupadī.
