Chaste GÄndhÄrÄ«, daughter of Subala, having good qualities and dedicated to her husband, followed him as he went to the HimÄlayas, which gives joy to those who have given up violence. She took the challenge like a warrior enjoying a good battle.
Gandhari was the daughter of Subala. Sadhvi means “having good qualities.†How did she go to the Himalayas, which would give great hardship? Such sufferings are a cause of joy for those who have enthusiasm. An example is given. It is like a good (san) fight (sampraharah) experienced by the warrior even if he is very young. Sat-sampraharam is also seen. The neuter case is poetic license. Amara-kosa says sampraharabhisampata-kali-samsphota-samyugah: samprahara means war, quarrel, battle, conflict.
