[Advaita-l] Draupadi - the root cause of Mahabharatha war?

In an article it is stated:

महाभारतयुद्धस्य कारणेषु मुख्यानि कौरवाणाम् उपरि द्रौपद्या अपमानवचनानि
एवासीत्। इन्द्रप्रस्थे अपमानितः दुर्योधनः सभामध्ये द्रौपद्याः वस्त्राक्षेपं
कारयित्वा प्रतिकारं चकार तद्वारा दुश्शासनवधाय भीमेन शपथं कृतम्। द्रौपद्याः
पञ्चपुत्रा आसन्।।

Draupadi's words of humiliation irked the Kauravas and Duryodhana was
especially hurt when Draupadi laughed at him in Indraprastha. [I think this
happened when Duryodhana visited the 'wonder-palace' built by Vishvakarma
for the use of Pandavas].

Are there any references to support the above claim in the Mahabharatha?
