The verse elevates moral reputation (puṇyakīrti) and inner nobility as true sources of strength: Draupadī’s virtue and steadfastness are portrayed as a radiant, heroic power that inspires righteous action.
Bhīma speaks in praise of Draupadī, identifying her as a princess of meritorious fame and likening her to a sun-like source of heroic brilliance—an affirmation of her stature and the motivating force she provides amid hardship.
