Verse 5

¹King, Samba the son of Jambavati, who wins where he fights, carried off Duryodhana's daughter Laksmana as she stood at her own choosing. ²The Kauravas were angry and said: This boy has no breeding. He made nothing of us and carried our girl off by force, and she did not want to go. ³Tie this ill-bred fellow up. What will the Vrsnis do? They live off land we gave them, and what they have they built up by our favour. ⁴If the Vrsnis do come here, when they hear their son has been seized, their pride will be broken and they will go quiet, like breaths well held in. ⁵So Karna, Sala, Bhuri, Yajnaketu and Suyodhana set about binding Samba, and the elders of the Kurus approved it.
