Here Draupadi's wondrous beauty draws from afar. It is telling that her fragrance, wafting for a krosha, is not of this world: her beauty bears a superhuman nature. Draupadi is a partial manifestation of a higher power, and her very scent bears witness to a heavenly origin. It is also telling that her svayamvara, with its appointed hour, gathers multitudes: a foreordained event draws all to itself. So the scripture shows that all stream toward the godlike maiden; and the Pandavas, drawn by destiny, go to where the one destined for them awaits.
