Shloka 10
अम्बिके तव पौत्रस्य दुर्नयात् किल भारता: । सानुबन्धा विनडृशक्ष्यन्ति पौराश्चैवेति नः श्रुतम्,“अम्बिके! तुम्हारे पौत्रके अन्यायसे भरतवंशी वीर तथा इस नगरके लोग सगे- सम्बन्धियोंसहित नष्ट हो जायँगे--ऐसी बात मैंने सुनी है
ambike tava pautrasya durnayāt kila bhāratāḥ | sānubandhā vinaḍṛśakṣyanti paurāś caiveti naḥ śrutam ||
বৈশম্পায়নে ক’লে—হে অম্বিকে! তোমাৰ পৌত্ৰৰ দুৰ্নয়ৰ ফলত ভৰতবংশীয় বীৰসকল আত্মীয়-স্বজনসহ বিনষ্ট হ’ব, আৰু এই নগৰৰ পুৰবাসীও—এয়াই আমি শুনিছোঁ।

Unjust conduct and poor governance (durnaya) by those in power can bring ruin not only upon themselves but upon their entire lineage and the wider community; adharma spreads consequences beyond the individual.
Vaiśampāyana reports a heard warning to Ambikā: because of her grandson’s wrongful course, the Bhārata/Kuru line and even the city’s citizens are foretold to perish along with their associated kin and dependents.
