Shloka 10
Haryaśva’s Agreement with Gālava and the Birth of Vasumanā
Nārada’s narration
हताशो हााकृतार्थ: सन् हतः सम्भावितो नर: । हिनस्ति तस्य पुत्रांश्व पौत्रांश्चाकुर्वतो हितम्
hatāśo hākṛtārthaḥ san hataḥ sambhāvito naraḥ | hinasti tasya putrāṁś ca pautrāṁś cākurvato hitam ||
那罗陀说道：“当一位可敬之人前去求助，却失望而归、所愿不遂，他便如同已死——名誉被碾碎。在那般境地里，他会变得可怖而具毁灭性：他将祸患降于那位富者的子与孙，因为那富者未曾为他的福祉而行。”

Educational Q&A
A respected person who is humiliated by failed supplication may become dangerously hostile; therefore, one should not neglect the welfare of a deserving petitioner, as refusal can generate enduring enmity and harm extending to one’s descendants.
Narada states a general maxim within the Udyoga Parva’s counsel-oriented context: an honored man, when thwarted and left without support, feels socially 'dead' and may retaliate against the family line of the person who denied him help.
