Let's check from Valmiki Ramayana and conclude did Shree Ram eat meat or not? Btw the fun-fact is: You all will give your conclusion not me. (ss means screenshot)

1st ss, Ayodhyakanda Chapter 20 Verse 29: Ram is saying that he will not consume royal fare.

2nd ss, shows meaning of amisham from Shabdkosh, as a food consuming for enjoyment, not talking about meat.

3rd ss, Ayodhyakanda Chapter 20 Verse 31: Ram is telling that he will live on fruits and roots only.

4th ss, Ayodhyakanda Chapter 18 Verse 30: It shows Ram always speak truth. His words and promise both can't be false.

5th ss, Ayodhyakanda Chapter 27 Verse 16: Maa Sita is telling that she will live on fruits and roots but not talking about meat atleast once.

Let's move to other controversial verses.

6th and 7th ss, Ayodhyakanda Chapter 52 verse 89 and Chapter 96 verse 1 and 2: It arises a question does Maa Sita wants to offer meat to Ganga? and is she cooking meat???

8th ss, shows about the meaning of mamsa in Sanskrit from Shabdkosh as a flesh of the fruit.

9th and 10th ss, Ayodhyakanda Chapter 52 verse 102 and Chapter 55 verse 32: It showing hunting skills of Lord Rama, but hunting means eating meat it doesn't shown.

11th ss, It shows cara in Sanskrit from Shabdkosh means walking or moving not eating.

12th and 13th ss, Ayodhyakanda Chapter 43 verse 31 and Aranyakanda Chapter 19 verse 14-15: It shows the intentions of Rama for hunting deer 🦌 for getting their skin.

14th ss, It shows that mamsa in Sanskrit from Shabdkosh means skin.

15th and 16th ss, SundarKanda Chapter 36 verse 41 and Anushasan Parva Chapter 115 verse 63-67: If Shree Ram eat meat then Hanuman and Bhishma words will get wrong, then Shivansh and Gangaputra will become a liar.

Now, you all conclude did Shree Ram eat meat or not?

Interpolations: (1) "A divine force or Vasudeva given infinite number of garments during Draupadi's Vashtraharan", (2) "Dushasan tried to drag Draupadi's garments".

All proofs are from BORI CE Mahabharata. (ss means screenshot)

1st ss(Dyuta Sabha Parva 284(59))shows that Duryodhan wants to see Draupadi as her servant. No worst intention of her Vastraharan.

Now, Let's talk about Draupadi's garments from 2nd ss(Dyuta Sabha Parva 285(60)), so Draupadi is in her menses that's why she doesn't wear the upper garments, upper garments (Uttariya) at that time are the symbol of status, during her menses, she is impure and can't go to Sabha that's why she didn't wear it.

3rd ss(Dyuta Sabha Parva 285(60))shows that her Upper garments dishevelled means we can assume, she got a bad indication from her sixth sense and thinks that it will be right to wear the single garment in a way to cover her upper body, if Dhritarashtra's son force her to go to Sabha, she will complain to Gandhari.

4th ss(Dyuta Sabha Parva 286(61))shows that Karna told Pandavas and Draupadi to open upper garments as a Das/Dasi can't wear Uttariya.

Then, Bibek Debroy has written that Dushasan drag her dress and a divine power saved Draupadi. Let's check is it true or not?

Now, All scenes will start from after Draupadi's Vashtraharan.

5th ss(Dyuta Sabha 287(62))shows the rage of Bhima on Dushasan for dragging Draupadi to the Sabha, holding her hairs, but why no mention of Vastraharan?

6th ss(Kairata Parva 310(13))shows that Draupadi is telling her sorrows to Vasudeva but she doesn't mentioned about stripping her? Only "dragging her" is mentioned. Dragging means dragging her hairs.

7th ss(Bhagavat Yana Parva 789(126))shows Vasudeva went to Duryodhana for Shanti Prastav and there he is telling about Duryodhana's bad deeds but he doesn't mentioned about Vastraharan, why?

8th ss(Bhagavat Yana Parva 798(135))shows Kunti is telling her sorrows to Vasudeva but doesn't mentioned about stripping clothes again,why?

9th ss(Karna Vadha Parva 1217(67))shows Vasudeva is reminding Karna about his bad deeds but doesn't mentioned about Vastraharan?

10th ss(Shalya Vadha Parva 1223(4))shows Sanjaya said that Draupadi has no clothes on her body means no Uttariya on her upper body. Her upper body was exposed, means no divine force helped Draupadi?

11th and 12th ss(Gada Yuddha Parva 1274(55) and 1277(58)) Bhima two times mentioned about "Draupadi's hairs got pulled by Dushasan and Duryodhan oppressed her in the midst of assembly" before and after defeating Duryodhana.

13th ss(Svagarohana Parva 1991(1)) shows Yudhishthir got angry seeing Duryodhan on heaven and uttered that he oppressed Panchali by making her slave but no mention of Vastraharan which can be the biggest sin to grant hell to Duryodhana.

14th ss(Vairata Parva 604(8)),15th ss and 16th ss will give you more information about Uttariya. Virat's Wife describe Sairandhri(Draupadi as a Dasi) looks, where it has an indication that she is not wearing Upper garments and two other screenshots are from Costumes, Textiles, Cosmetics & Coiffure in Ancient and Medieval India" written by S. N. Dar and another page is written by M.K. Dhavalikar.
