SB 10.68.2
kauravah kupita ucur
durvinito ’yam arbhakah
kadarthi-krtya nah kanyam
akamam aharad balat
Translation:
The angry Kurus said: This ill-behaved boy has offended us, forcibly kidnapping our unmarried daughter against her will.
SB 10.68.3
badhnitemam durvinitam
kim karisyanti vrsnayah
ye ’smat-prasadopacitam
dattam no bhuñjate mahim
Translation:
Arrest this ill-behaved Samba! What will the Vrsnis do? By our grace they are ruling land that we have granted them.
SB 10.68.4
nigrhitam sutam srutva
yady esyantiha vrsnayah
bhagna-darpah samam yanti
prana iva su-samyatah
Translation:
If the Vrsnis come here when they learn that their son has been captured, we will break their pride. Thus they’ll become subdued, like bodily senses brought under strict control.
SB 10.68.5
iti karnah salo bhurir
yajñaketuh suyodhanah
sambam arebhire yoddhum
kuru-vrddhanumoditah
Translation:
After saying this and having their plan sanctioned by the senior member of the Kuru dynasty, Karna, Sala, Bhuri, Yajñaketu and Suyodhana set out to attack Samba.
Purport:
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura explains that the elder of the Kurus mentioned here is Bhisma, who gave permission to the younger men as follows: “Since this maiden has now been touched by Samba, she cannot take any other husband. He must become her husband. Nonetheless, you should arrest him and tie him up to make a statement about his impropriety and our own prowess. But in no case should he be killed.” The acarya also adds that Bhisma accompanied the five warriors mentioned in this verse.
