Description in the Javanese wayang retellings: She was born to [Drupada] without the intervention of a woman, but by the works of Resi Yoja and Upajoya. In the Javanese Pedhalangan version, she is only married to Puntadewa and has only one son: Pancawala. She does not wear any gold accessories. Her character is simple and loyal.

Notes on the Indian retellings: Known as Draupadi. She is also known as Panchali. She is considered an ayonija (she who is not born out of a mother) as she emerged out of the /yagna/ fire. She is therefore considered powerful and pure. She is married to all five Pandhava in the Indian version.
