In plain words
She would not speak back to her husbands' words, nor think her serving of them ever done; she found contentment in what she had: there is no pativratā to equal Draupadī.
Not one husband, but five. In these times it is hard to follow the command of even one husband. She bowed to the command of five husbands and went on doing as they said, without ever an answer of 'no' or 'I won't'. Here, who are Draupadī's husbands? Not Dharma, Arjuna, Bhīma, Nakula and Sahadeva. The five prāṇas are Draupadī's husbands. These five husbands are in every man. Prāṇa, apāna, vyāna, udāna, samāna: she kept these five in balance and in harmony. Every human being, women and men alike: we all have these five prāṇas. Do we follow them? At one time or another, one or the other of them flares up. 'Content with what she had': in these days, when the month's salary is five hundred rupees, that lady does not weep for a thousand-rupee Kāñcī sari. When five hundred rupees come in, she is a woman who lives within them. That is, we must be content with what we have. So Draupadī was always content. What is the reason? The cause of discontent is this: people give up what they have and pine for what they have not. That is why they fall prey to unrest. Draupadī did not long for what she had not. She did not give up what she had. She enjoyed just what she had.
So, taking this as the reason, students must recognise clearly how Buddhi changes through food. Whether it is our attachment and hatred or our clinging, our sense of mine and the rest, all of it comes about through food alone. So this discipline of food is vital for Manas and Buddhi. The nature of Manas is very strange. The way all the śāstras describe it is this: by following the senses man becomes a beast. By following Manas man becomes human. By following Buddhi man becomes one who has greatness. He becomes a noble soul. The day man follows the Ātma, 'brahmavit brahmaiva bhavati'.
