In spite of several plus points to their credit – like the wisdom, courage, and sagacity of Draupadi, Tara and Damayanti, the keen and lively interest they evinced in their surroundings and also the part played by the former two in the management of their respective realms, the strong sense of duty, love and loyalty to their respective husbands as shown by Kunti, Mandodari and Shakuntala, the carving for knowledge as expressed by Maitreyi – none of them is a model for Hindu women.
Kunti
Five elements, earth, water, fire, wind, [[ether are in essence the five satis. This the wise know as Ahalya, Draupadi, Kunti, Tara and Mandodari Five virgins...Ahalya personifies water, Draupadi represents fire, Kunti symbolises mother earth, Tara personifies wind and Mandodari ether. Draupadi's personality personifies fire, while Sita (whom she incongruously includes in the group instead of Kunti) is the daughter of the earth.
Kunti
They [nine women in Hindu mythology] are Ahalya, Draupadi, Tara, Kunti, Mandodari, Sita, Savitri, Parvati, Damayanti, Maitreyi and Shakuntala. All of them were not held in the same degree of esteem and reverence. The first five women, known as pancakanya, may well be remembered in daily prayers but none of them is regarded as an ideal woman, at least not recommended by anyone for emulation by others.
Kunti
Scarlett, from the ashes of the war-ravaged land at Tara, remembering what she was taught by her father in happier times 'As God is my witness, as God is my witness, they're not going to lick me I'm going to live through this, and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again no, nor any of my folks If I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again.'
