I heard this version in an old telugu film which praises Karna. I thought that was just a created story for the sake of film. I didn't believe that version. But these days, a dialogue is made popular who are relating draupadi to raped victims whose translation is like this

We accept Draupadi who has five husbands as a virtuous wife. Why not accept raped victims?. and many similar dialogues
This version is supported by a story which is a part of a book named Jaya: An illustrated retelling of Mahabharata written by a famous writer Devdutt Pattanaik. That story is below.

My question:

Did Draupadi want karna as her sixth husband?
Was Draupadi unhappy about her husbands anytime?

Please quote sanskrit verses too if possible.

@sv. My bad. I was thinking something while typing this. Is it want or wanted? I think it was wanted since it is past tense. – Sarvabhouma Nov 28 '16 at 17:51
NP. I'm not an expert in English but see this & this. – Say No To Censorship Nov 28 '16 at 17:54
That story mentioned by Pattanaik is from some folktale in western India so no Sanskrit scriptural basis. – Rambhakt Jan 27 '23 at 06:31
