Is Draupadi considered a daughter of Agni?
The Pandavas are officially the sons of Pandu, but in truth they were the children of gods.
So it was with Draupadi and her brother Dhrstidayumna: they were the son and daughter of king Drupada, but he had not sired them with a woman - rather, they had emerged from a sacrificial fire.
If I understand correctly, in this kind of sacrifice (Yajna) the fire is held to represent the god of fire, Agni.
Can we consider Draupadi to be a daughter of Agni, as Yudhistir was the son of Dharma, Bhima the son of Vuya, Aryun the son of Indra and Nahakula and Sahadeva the sons of the Asvins?
Yes, thank you all for answering - except for you, Naro, you are useless - but I was hoping for a more clear response. I'll rephrase: Has Draupadi ever been expressedly stated to be the daughter of Agni?

You can very well consider .Similarly though Sri Krisna was son of Vasudeav and Devaki , he is also considered as the son o9f Nanda Gopa and yasodha . Sita is actually the daughter of Mandodari the wife of Ravan . King Janaka did not father her.Regards
