The Ritual Formalization of Draupadī’s Marriage
तेषां तु द्रौपदी दृष्टवा सर्वेषाममितौजसाम् | सम्प्रमथ्येन्द्रियग्रामं प्रादुरासीन््मनो भव:,द्रपदकुमारीपर दृष्टि पड़ते ही उन सभी अमिततेजस्वी पाण्घुपुत्रोंकी सम्पूर्ण इन्द्रियोंको मथकर मन्मथ प्रकट हो गया
teṣāṁ tu draupadīṁ dṛṣṭvā sarveṣām amitaujasām | sampramathyendriyagrāmaṁ prādurāsīn mano-bhavaḥ ||
वैशम्पायन म्हणाला— पण द्रौपदीला पाहताच त्या अमिततेजस्वी पांडुपुत्रांच्या सर्व इंद्रियांमध्ये खळबळ माजली; आणि मनोभव—कामदेव—अंतःकरणात प्रकट झाला.

Educational Q&A
Even the strongest and most disciplined can be shaken by sudden attraction; the episode highlights the ethical need for indriya-nigraha (restraint of the senses) so that desire does not override discernment and dharma.
As the Pāṇḍavas see Draupadī, their senses are powerfully stirred; the poet personifies this surge of attraction as the appearance of Manobhava (Kāma), signaling the beginning of romantic and marital destiny within the svayaṁvara context.
