Its great misconception/propogandas spreaded by fake BR
Chopra and Starbharat series that kauravas were defeated by king Draupad in
guru dakshina war. According to BORI critical edition, Kauravas and Pandavas
together attacked Draupad and captured him. BORI Critical edition doesn’t
mentioned Surya’s son Karna or Kshtriya gandhari’s son Karna in guru dakshina
battle. As per BORI critical edition even Kauravas were undefeated in guru
dakshina war

BORI Critical Edition
Adi Parv, Section – 128
Vaishampayana said, ‘O ruler of the earth! One day, Drona the preceptor assembled his pupils together and asked all of them for his fee.“Capture Drupada, the king of Panchala, in a raid and bring him here to me. O fortunate ones! That will be my greatest dakshina.”Agreeing, all of them armed themselves with weapons and quickly climbed into their chariots and set out, accompanied by Drona, in order to pay the preceptor’s fee.Those bulls among men destroyed Panchala and went to the capital of the immensely powerful Drupada and attacked it. O bull of the Bharata lineage!Thus capturing Yajnasena Drupada and his advisers in battle, they brought him to Drona.
EXPLAINATION
Drona asked
his students to pay his fees by capturing Draupad in war. BORI doesn’t
mentioned list of students hence we can safelty conclude that Kauravas and
Pandavas together attacked panchal. All of them captured Draupad so easily and
brought him to their teacher Drona. Kauravas won..!!
TASK
COMPLETED….!!
Last but
not least, Draupad was also poor warrior like Vimna partho arjuna who was
defeated by all warriors and never beat any warrior in his life. Vrishasen too
beat him and allowed him to flee from battle just like Karna allowed arjuna to
run away from his deadly Bhargavastra
CONCLUSION
Which Chapter is it Brother
