And the celestial Sri herself who had been appointed as their wife is this Draupadi of extraordinary beauty. How could she whose effulgence is like that of the sun or the moon, whose fragrance spreads for two miles around, take her birth in any other than an extraordinary way, viz., from within the earth, by virtue of the sacrificial rites? Unto thee, O king, I cheerfully grant this other boon in the form of spiritual sight. Behold now the sons of Kunti endued with their sacred and celestial bodies of old!' > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 1.189.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.189.34) - [Next: 1.189.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.189.36) - [Up: 1.189](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.189) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.1.199.7) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Bhāratabhāvadīpa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa!nilakantha.1.197.37) — Nīlakaṇṭha Caturdhara 1650, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.1.197.37) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.189.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.189.35) · Pramāṇa
