This goes to prove that any wish however illogical comes true and unfortunately as we would've forgotten that we asked for it - end up cursing our fate and God and envying others thinking they got more than what they deserve. As in Draupadi's case it happened in her next life.
How many of our situations and people in our lives, we have asked for in previous lives - do we know that? do we remember that? No, Nature has given us a great boon of forgetfulness. So, we forget or don't remember our previous births and actions and end up crying and complaining. If we "accept" that the present situation is just an effect and the cause is our own desire, then the list of our complains would be drastically reduced - nay completely done away with. Maybe, we'll become more responsible with our desires, wishes and thought!
There is also another version to this story where Draupadi gives such a huge list of characters that she seeks in her spouse that Lord Shiva said "Granted. But all these qualities can't be in a single man, but all the characters will be equally distributed in five men - those five men would be your five husbands!"
Whatever be the case, one thing is clear - "She received what she asked" - as I always say "Ask and it shall be given and then, suffer with your asking". Our wishes are so illogical, paradoxical and confusing that we end up having our wish fulfilled in a way it pains us!
That's why I always request people never to comment on others situations saying "they got it because of their karma!" statement....never ever do it.... because as you can see Draupadi didn't want her wish fulfilled this way. Likewise everyone gets as per his /her karma, but can we say what that karma is? May be, it is just a wish asked gone wrong...so avoid - yes avoid is the only action in these cases. Avoid commenting on others and their lives and lifestyle....
