Samba’s Marriage

Chapter 68

After Samba had kidnapped Duryodhana’s daughter, Laksmana, the Kaurava armies unfairly captured him and returned to Hastinapura. The Yadavas were ready to attack, but Balarama tried to diffuse the conflict with a peace proposal. Afflicted by deep-rooted pride, the Kauravas rejected it outright, and Balarama fiercely attacked them by dragging Hastinapura toward the Ganges. Terrified, the Kauravas quickly handed over Samba and Laksmana, who were duly married and sent to Dwaraka.
