विद्धं तु लक्ष्यं प्रसमीक्ष्य कृष्णा; पार्थं च शक्रप्रतिमं निरीक्ष्य ॥
आदाय शुक्लं वरमाल्यदाम; जगाम कुन्तीसुतम् उत्स्मयन्ती ॥
स ताम् उपादाय विजित्य रङ्गे; द्विजातिभिस् तैर् अभिपूज्यमानः ॥
रङ्गान् निरक्रामद् अचिन्त्यकर्मा; पत्न्या तया चाप्य् अनुगम्यमानः ॥
viddhaṃ tu lakṣyaṃ prasamīkṣya kṛṣṇā; pārthaṃ ca śakrapratimaṃ nirīkṣya ||
ādāya śuklaṃ varamālyadāma; jagāma kuntīsutam utsmayantī ||
sa tām upādāya vijitya raṅge; dvijātibhis tair abhipūjyamānaḥ ||
raṅgān nirakrāmad acintyakarmā; patnyā tayā cāpy anugamyamānaḥ ||
"Having seen the pierced mark and looked upon Partha, who resembled Shakra, Krishna [Draupadi], taking up a fine white garland, approached the son of Kunti, smiling. And he, having won her, having triumphed in the arena, honored by those twice-born, went out from the arena, doer of an inconceivable deed, accompanied by that wife."

Here the reward goes to the worthy, and the maiden chooses her betrothed. It is significant that Draupadi approaches the victor "smiling" and herself places the garland: the choosing is made by her own free will, and her heart rejoices. Here is the fulfillment of what was foreordained: the destined one recognizes the destined one, and the union arranged from above (by Shiva's boon) comes to pass. It is significant that the brahmins honor the victor as one of their own: the humble rejoice at the triumph of "their own." Thus the scripture shows the completion of the svayamvara — the maiden won by valor, and Arjuna going forth with his betrothed; and that for which the worlds had gathered has come to pass.
