Here the bride herself is ‘brightly smiling’ — a sign of her consent. It is significant that Subhadra is not terrified but smiles: the abduction is only in appearance, while in her heart it is a desired union. This shows that outward force here clothes a consenting union. Thus the scripture reveals the bride's willingness; and the guards' alarm concerns only appearance, not substance.
