Educational Q&A
Even in a moment of renunciation and departure, ethical sensitivity remains: the speaker emphasizes Draupadī’s vulnerability and worthiness of care, and seeks proper consent rather than acting unilaterally.
During the great departure (mahāprasthāna), a request is made—addressing Purandara (Indra)—that Draupadī, described as delicate and deserving of comfort, be allowed to accompany the departing party.
