Subhadrā-vilāpaḥ — Subhadrā’s Lament for Abhimanyu
Droṇa-parva 55
राजपुत्रं तथा जहु: सुवर्णष्ठीविनं बलात् । तब उन लोभी लुटेरोंने राजमहलमें प्रवेश करके राजकुमार सुवर्णष्ठीवीको बलपूर्वक हर लिया
rājaputraṃ tathā jahuḥ suvarṇaṣṭhīvinaṃ balāt |
ಆಗ ಆ ಲೋಭಿ ದಸ್ಯುಗಳು ರಾಜಮನೆಗೆ ನುಗ್ಗಿ, ಸುವರ್ಣಷ್ಠೀವಿನ್ ಎಂಬ ರಾಜಕುಮಾರನನ್ನು ಬಲವಂತವಾಗಿ ಅಪಹರಿಸಿದರು.

The verse highlights adharma in the form of greed-driven violence: even the sanctity of the royal palace and the safety of a prince are violated when moral restraint collapses. It implicitly warns that war’s disorder can magnify criminal impulses unless checked by dharma and governance.
A group described as greedy plunderers enters the royal palace and forcibly carries off the prince Suvarṇaṣṭhīvin. Vyāsa narrates this as part of a broader depiction of atrocities and breakdown of order during the conflict.
