Vishnu Puran Part 115 सांभ विवाह और बलराम का हस्तिनापुर खींचना

This text describes the immense power of Lord Balarama and the mythological tale of his subjugation of Hastinapur. When Sambha was captured by the Kauravas for abducting Duryodhana's daughter, Balarama single-handedly went to free him. Enraged by the Kauravas' disrespect of King Ugrasena's command and their humiliation of the Yadavas, Balarama attempted to drag the entire city into the Ganges with the blow of his plough, prompting the frightened Kauravas to surrender. Ultimately, the Kauravas sent Sambha and his wife away with honor, and this incident remains visible today in Hastinapur's topography as a symbol of his valor.
