Here the mystery of the marriage is resolved: Draupadi is Lakshmi, destined from of old for the five Indras. It is telling that the plurality of husbands is no human whim but an eternal divine arrangement: the five were one and the same office of Indra, and one Lakshmi was destined for them from ancient times. It must be said plainly: this is a singular, incomparable case belonging to descended gods, not a rule for men. This shows that the extraordinary in the lives of avatars and descended beings is not to be imitated: it is holy in its own order and without parallel. The verse reveals the divine background of the union, and what seemed troubling as impropriety is disclosed as an eternal design.
