Krishna cursed his own son

This is the new story I have recently came to know.

Krishna and Jambavati had a son named Samba. Samba misbehaved so much that his father , Krishna became too angry with him. He wanted to tell in a good manner but Samba continued his bad behaviour. Krishna could not tolerate any more.

Finally Krishna told to his son , " I am so disgusted with you that I am cursing you . You will contract leprocy ".

Samba immediately started suffering with the disease. His body became disfigured. He was crying with pain.

His mother Jambavati was also present at that time. She could not see her son suffering. She pleaded with Krishna for mercy.

Finally , Krishna said to Samba " You go to river bank. Take bath and pray to Sun god. Again dip in river. You will get cured ."

At this time, Samba had realised his fault. Now he cant even get up . He pleaded with Krishna for pardon.

Finally Krishna became soft on his son and carried his son in his own arms to the river bank. He helped Samba to take the dip in the river.

Samba prayed to Sun God and apologised for his misbehaviour. He again took a dip in river and when Samba emerged , he was cured of disease.
