In Tamil tradition, Draupadi is a goddess and one Muttal Ravuttan is her royal guard and gatekeeper. He is said to be a king whose daughter married Yudhishtira. It was known that Draupadi would not let any of her five husbands’ other wives stay in the palace. So that she makes an exception to his daughter, Muttal offers to become Draupadi’s servant for all eternity.
