tathā dadarśa pāñcālīṃ kamalotpalamālinīm | vapuṣā svargam ākramya tiṣṭhantīm arkavarcasaṃ ||

അതിനുശേഷം കമലവും ഉത്പലവും ചേർന്ന മാലകളാൽ അലങ്കൃതയായ പാഞ്ചാലരാജകുമാരി ദ്രൗപദിയെ അദ്ദേഹം കണ്ടു; അവൾ തന്റെ ദിവ്യ തേജസ്സാൽ സ്വർഗ്ഗലോകത്തെ തന്നെ ആവിഷ്കരിച്ച്, സൂര്യസമാനമായ കാന്തിയോടെ നിലകൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.

Educational Q&A

The verse underscores karmic fruition and dharmic vindication: one who has endured hardship with steadfastness and integrity is ultimately honored, here symbolized by Draupadī’s sun-like radiance in Svarga.

In the Svargarohana episode, the narrator describes a vision of Draupadī in heaven—garlanded with lotuses, standing in divine brilliance that seems to pervade and outshine the celestial realm.
