Sāmba was extremely handsome, and even the wives of Śrī Kṛṣṇa fell in love with him. Under the circumstances Sāmba tended to become wicked. Śrī Kṛṣṇa came to know of the unnatural attachment between his wives and Sāmba, from Nārada and cursed Sāmba that he would become a leper, and cursed his own wives, that they would be carried away by thieves and plunderers. Accordingly Sāmba became a leper and the wives of Śrī Kṛṣṇa were carried away by the Ābhīras, after the submerging of Dvārakā. - [Previous: c9.1002](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1002) - [Next: c9.1004](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1004) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1003](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.1003) · Pramāṇa
