BIBLE VERSES

DRAUPADI, DAUGHTER OF KING DRUPADA 

A symbol of Wisdom or Intuition generated by the spiritual mind.

"Draupadi was born out of the sacrificial fire, and was a form of Lakshmi. . . Divine perfume exhaled from her person. As the Pandavas were all portions of one deity (Indra), there could be no harm in Draupadi becoming the wife of all five." - MON. WILLIAMS, Indian Wisdom, p. 388.

Wisdom, or the buddhic emotion-nature, was born in the soul from out of the self-limitation of Spirit, and aspiration of the lower nature. The "perfume" expresses the beauty and harmony which comes into the soul through the higher emotions. Wisdom is allied to all the five higher attributes of the soul on the higher mental plane. These attributes arise and develop through devotion to righteousness and Truth.
