My focus is on the dialogue that follows this quote; “Each one of them seems to be keen on winning the chaste Draupadi at the Swayamvara.” This quote is referring to the traditional ceremony where a princess can choose a husband from a group of assembled suitors, but the actual power dynamics are a lot less liberating than they appear. Like saying “Keen on winning” places Draupadi not as a human being with free thinking thoughts but as a passive prize that can be won. Like an object that can be obtained without objection or choice.
