• vṛte — (He) having been chosen
  Past participle of √vṛ — same root as svayaṁ-vara. The verse compresses the entire ceremony into one locative: vṛte — at the moment of choosing. Everything before built up to it; everything after fans out from it.
• hṛt - śaya — lust (literally 'lying in the heart')
  Hṛt (heart) + śaya (lying). Kāma is named here by its dwelling-place — the heart, where it lies hidden. Gauḍīya kāma-tattva: lust is not external; it is the inhabitant of the unpurified heart. When frustrated, it becomes anger (krodha).
• āturāḥ — distressed, sick
  Ātura — afflicted, diseased. Lust frustrated becomes a disease, not a passion. The kings are not heroes here; they are patients of their own hṛt-śaya. The verse pities them even as it records their attack.
• yājñaseni — O Yājñaseni (Draupadī)
  Yājñaseni — daughter of Yajñasena (Drupada). The chapter keeps surfacing Draupadī's name to remind the listener: this is conversation, not monologue. Lakṣmaṇā speaks to a friend who has herself known suitors' violence (Karṇa's mockery at her own svayaṁvara).
• spardhantaḥ — becoming quarrelsome
  Present participle of √spṛdh — to contend. The single word names the moment a defeated suitor abandons dignity for contest. Gauḍīya commentators note: spardhā with the Lord is the source of all asura-līlā in the Bhāgavatam.

  His Grace Padaseva Prabhu· Oriya

• Where in me does lust refuse to accept loss and keep fighting?
• What practice helps me let an unattainable thing go?

The failed suitors cannot endure the choice. Bhakti's selection is the world's offence: kings who would have accepted defeat in honest combat cannot accept being passed over for someone they consider their equal. Their hṛt-śaya — lust-arrow — turns to blade. The verse marks the moment material desire, frustrated, becomes violence.
