This is a good example and a good morale too. Every thing has a consequence and even if we can redeem it a little bit, we can not escape it. It is up to us if we want them to be good or bad.

Her father genuinly planned everything for her, from the very strt. Which related quite a lot to the traditions.

wom an typical ofher times, her fiery personality lent a g lo w to everything that she did
I like this. Girls reading this type of text are encouraged to do something else in life and that we all have choices and different dreams as well. Draupadi lived just as every other women lives, but she had passions and other activities that she liked, therefore she did them. That should be for everyone too.

which was less than kind towom en.
The text is clear to the reader from the very introduction. All the reader can come to a conclusion after reading the first pharagraph is "this is an important character and she is very strong" and at the end, with this line, the text makes it clear with its own words.
-
Her steely will, which often gleams throughher hapless married life, was shaped by the powerand plenty that she knew as the beloved daughterof the wealthy king of Panchala.
Draupadi is a very strong and changing character compared to others. Married life is mentiones here but it specifically shows that the thing that shaped her life was her knowlodge. Which at the time, was not common for a female character to be described like that.
-
Draupadi sprang full grow n from the fire but noother heroine in Hindu m ythology was as earthy asshe
It is common to relate the heroines, moslty the females, to fire. This resembles the beauty, grace and delicacy. But when it comes to Draupadi, she is described as earthy. Which is something new but that I personally like very much.

While o'er the fields of Greece the embattled troops Of Persia march with delegated sway, We o'er their rich and gold-abounding seats Hold faithful our firm guard; to this high charge
This shows the richness in the world and the lifestyle for this type of people too, which is something i always find very interesting. While they are enjoying, others go to war, even the youbg ones, the a whole life ahead of them.

Hath Asia sent, and for her youth I sigh.
As I mentioned before, we are not only talking about a cruel and berbaric war, but moslty, and the horrible thing about everything is that young men are going. Kids, even. Countries in those days use to send every single men possible. No matter if they were experienced or not. It was against their will sometimes too. And here, the narrator sighs not only for the pain of the situation but also for the young souls too.
-
Leading their martial thousands; their proud steeds Prance under them; steel bows and shafts their arms, Dreadful to see, and terrible in fight, Deliberate valour breathing in their souls.
Others go only for the feeling that they are fighting for their country and its here were we can see the manipulation of the higher into the population. To make them think that they will do a glourious thing with no training or further explanation whatsoever.

Our towns exposed to wild affright An easy prey to the invader lie:
A town without walls is a town free to be conquered by others.

They are terrified from whats happening but were taught to be brave and show that they are strong.

For when misfortune's fraudful hand Prepares to pour the vengeance of the sky, What mortal shall her force withstand? What rapid speed the impending fury fly?
I like to think that this is a reference of a physical object being those the arrows that were used in battles at the time.

Soft sons of luxury; and those that dwell Amid the inland forests, from the sea Far distant; these Metragathes commands, And virtuous Arceus, royal chiefs, that shine In burnish'd gold, and many a whirling car Drawn by six generous steeds from Sardis lead, A glorious and a dreadful spectacle.
This caught my attention. It talks about the type of people going to fight. The types of men. We are talking about every single kind. When it says "Soft sons of luxury" clearly refers to the young boys of higher society who didn't do a labor work every day like the others, therefore their appareance and even experience was soft not only physical but emotional. "Those that dwell" refers to the ones who are the opposite and might have more experience. But still, he is sorry for everyone. And its amusing to see that they are togheter for the same thing only becuase of that circumstance.
