Arjuna was very attractive to women, and as soon as Subhadra saw him, she wanted to have him as her husband. Smiling bashfully with sidelong glances, she fixed her heart and eyes upon him.

Significado

As soon as she saw him, Subhadra knew that Arjuna was no sannyasi but rather her destined consort. In Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada elaborates: "Arjuna, the grandfather of Maharaja Parikshit, was himself extraordinarily beautiful and his bodily structure was very attractive to Subhadra. Subhadra also decided within her mind that she would accept only Arjuna as her husband. As a simple girl, she was smiling with great pleasure, looking at Arjuna."
