Nārada’s Account of the Kaliṅga Svayaṃvara: Duryodhana’s Seizure and Karṇa’s Escort
दुर्योधनस्तु कौरव्यो नामर्षयत लड्घनम् । प्रत्यषेधच्च तां कन्यामसत्कृत्य नराधिपान्,कुरुवंशी दुर्योधनको यह सहन नहीं हुआ कि राजकन्या उसे लाँघकर अन्यत्र जाय। उसने समस्त नरेशोंका अपमान करके उसे वहीं रोक लिया
duryodhanas tu kauravyo nāmarṣayata laṅghanam | pratyaṣedhac ca tāṃ kanyām asatkṛtya narādhipān |
那罗陀说道：然而，俱卢族的杜尤陀那无法忍受被人越过的轻慢。他无视在场聚集的诸王，并加以侮辱，竟以强力阻止那位公主另往他处。此事昭示：受伤的自尊与对王者礼法（达摩）的轻蔑，足以驱使统治者走向不义的胁迫，并在众目睽睽之下使他人蒙羞。

Educational Q&A
Unchecked pride and intolerance of perceived insult can lead a ruler to violate dharma—disrespecting others and using coercion—thereby sowing wider conflict and moral downfall.
Nārada narrates that Duryodhana, unable to bear being passed over, stops a princess from going elsewhere and, in doing so, insults the other kings present.
