How many boons should a Lady desire (want) ?


In the ancient Hindu Scripts so many duties and conditions with some code of law were given for the harmonious peace and contended life to the mankind.
According to the circumstances, even Ladies can ask boons and get them from the King or , Husband or any Sage etc.,

 A Brahmin lady has to ask three boons. A Kshatriya lady can ask two boons, A Vaisya lady can desire only two  boons and lastly the Soodra lady has to ask three boons.

In the Mahabharata era, in the royal court of Dhritarashtra when Pandavas were illegally defeated by the Kauravas in the game of gambling.the Pandavas’s wife, Draupadi was lost  as bet. It was a pityless situation at that time in the court.

Finally Dhritarashtra, the blind king who was a father of Kauravas, involved into this situation, gave boons to Daraupadi whatever she wanted that would be given to her without any condition. Thne she asked only two boons the king. She did not asked any third boon as she was a Kshatrika lady. With her majestic virtue, the king Dhritarashtra gave her another third boon to Draupadi.
