Five prerequisites for sharanagathy.
Anukulya sankalpa: What pleases the Lord.
Pratikulya varjana : Not doing what he dislikes.
Mahavisvasa: Belief in him.
Goptrtva varna: requesting him for help.
Kaarpanya: acknowledging ones helplessness.
Draupadi had all of it hence he rushed to help her.
Humility too added
anukulyasya sankalpah pratikulyasya varjanam
raksisyatiti visvaso goptrtve varanam tatha
atma-niksepa-karpanye sad-vidha saranagatih.
anukulyasya — of anything that assists devotional service to the Lord; sankalpah — acceptance; pratikulyasya — of anything that hinders devotional service; varjanam — complete rejection; raksisyati — He will protect; iti — thus; visvasah — strong conviction; goptrtve — in being the guardian, like the father or husband, master or maintainer; varanam — acceptance; tatha — as well as; atma-niksepa — full self-surrender; karpanye — and humility; sat-vidha — sixfold; sarana-agatih — process of surrender.
The six divisions of surrender are the acceptance of those things favorable to devotional service, the rejection of unfavorable things, the conviction that Krishna will give protection, the acceptance of the Lord as one’s guardian or master, full self-surrender, and humility.
