Here the festival appears in the fullness of its crowds and merriment. It is telling that the brahmins invite their companions to enjoy the spectacle as well: piety does not shun the lawful joy of a festival. A holy celebration embraces both merriment and the gathering of the good: where the festival serves a good cause, its joy too is pure. So the scripture shows the many-colored fullness of the svayamvara; and amid songs, dances, and contests will come to pass the very thing for which it was all arranged -- the choosing of Draupadi.
