Here the blessing points to the ideal of the devoted wife -- the pativrata. It is significant that the series culminates in "Lakshmi to Narayana": the highest image of conjugal devotion is the eternal companion of the Lord beside the Lord Himself. Earthly marriage is meant to reflect that transcendent union, where the wife is devotion and the husband its object. Thus the scripture shows the ideal of the pativrata, and Draupadi is blessed with a fidelity like that of Shri.
