Balarāma Humbles the Kurus and Rescues Sāmba
कौरवा: कुपिता ऊचुर्दुर्विनीतोऽयमर्भक: । कदर्थीकृत्य न: कन्यामकामामहरद् बलात् ॥ २ ॥
kauravāḥ kupitā ūcur durvinīto ’yam arbhakaḥ kadarthī-kṛtya naḥ kanyām akāmām aharad balāt
愤怒的库鲁人说:“这无礼的少年竟冒犯我们,违背我女儿的意愿,强行将她掳走!”
In Canto 10, Chapter 68, the Kauravas complain that Sāmba, described by them as an ill-behaved youth, humiliated them and forcibly took their maiden daughter though she was unwilling.
They spoke in anger to condemn Sāmba, blaming him for insulting them and seizing their daughter by force, which they saw as an outrage against their honor.
It highlights how uncontrolled pride and impulsive actions can provoke conflict and social rupture; dignity, consent, and disciplined conduct prevent harm and escalation.
