Here Lord Krishna showers gifts upon His devotees. It is significant that no sooner had the Pandavas taken wives than Krishna sends them rich gifts: the Lord hastens to provide for those dear to Him. Here is the outpouring of Krishna's grace upon His devotees -- He attends to their welfare before they even ask. Thus the scripture shows the Lord's love for the Pandavas, and His gifts are a sign of His protection.
