Udyoga Parva — Gandhārī’s Counsel to Duryodhana
कंसमेकं परित्यज्य कुलार्थे सर्वयादवा: । सम्भूय सुखमेधन्ते भारतान्धकवृष्णय:
kaṃsam ekaṃ parityajya kulārthe sarvayādavāḥ | sambhūya sukham edhante bhāratāndhakavṛṣṇayaḥ ||
பரதநந்தனே! குலநலனுக்காக கம்சனை ஒருவனையே விட்டு, அந்தக-விருஷ்ணி முதலிய யாதவர்கள் அனைவரும் ஒன்றுகூடி இன்பமாக வாழ்ந்து நாள்தோறும் செழித்து வளர்கிறார்கள்।
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.
