Educational Q&A
The verse implicitly critiques power pursued through oppression: a ruler who harms a people and then seeks legitimacy through marriage-alliance is labeled vṛthā-mati (misguided), underscoring that political success without dharma is ethically hollow.
Kaṁsa subdues the Yādavas and then approaches the two daughters of Jarāsandha (Bāhadratha) to marry them, indicating a strategic alliance formed after violent domination.
