 The popular rendition shows Draupadi refusing to marry Karna on account of being a Suta, other versions describe him failing to string the bow by the "breadth of a hair", while some do not present his participation in the event clearly.The Critical Edition of Mahabharat compiled by Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute has officially identified Draupadi's rejection of Karna as a later insertion and omitted it from the text.It is ambiguous, however, whether Karna failed or didn't participate at all.
