Draupadi and Subhadra


A scene from the Mahabharata. After Arjuna weds Subhadra he brings her back to his family. Draupadi, Arjuna's first wife, becomes jealous and refuses to see him or speak to him. To pacify her, Subhadra humbly goes to her dressed as a village girl and requests to become her servant. Draupadi heart softens after seeing her humility and sweetness, and she remembers that Subhadra is Lord Krishna's sister. She immediately casts away her jealousy and they become the best of friends.
