Udyoga Parva — Gandhārī’s Counsel to Duryodhana
कंसमेकं परित्यज्य कुलार्थे सर्वयादवा: । सम्भूय सुखमेधन्ते भारतान्धकवृष्णय:
kaṃsam ekaṃ parityajya kulārthe sarvayādavāḥ | sambhūya sukham edhante bhāratāndhakavṛṣṇayaḥ ||
হে ভরতনন্দন! কুলের মঙ্গলের জন্য কেবল কংসকে ত্যাগ করে অন্ধক-বৃষ্ণি প্রভৃতি সকল যাদব একত্রিত হয়ে সুখে বাস করে এবং ক্রমে সমৃদ্ধি লাভ করে।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
A society protects its dharma and long-term welfare by uniting for the common good and decisively rejecting a single harmful, tyrannical force—even if that force is powerful—rather than tolerating it for short-term convenience.
Vaiśampāyana cites the example of the Yādava clans: by collectively abandoning Kamsa, they consolidate their unity, live securely, and prosper—presented as a model of clan-protective political action.
