Here Draupadi's beauty is shown to be the work of the Creator himself. It is significant that her form is "fashioned by the Creator himself" and "captivates all beings": her beauty is not of this world, for she herself is a partial manifestation of a higher power. Here it is disclosed that Draupadi is no ordinary maiden: her incomparable beauty testifies to her divine origin. Thus the text shows that the brothers' attraction is not to an ordinary woman but to a wondrous being, ordained for them from above; and so the outcome of their union falls not under human measure but under a higher ordinance.
