कर्णिनालीकनाराचा निर्हरन्ति शरीरतः ॥
वाक्शल्यस् तु न निर्हर्तुं शक्यो हृदिशयो हि सः ॥
वाक्सायका वदनान् निष्पतन्ति; यैर् आहतः शोचति रात्र्यहानि ॥
परस्य नामर्मसु ते पतन्ति; तान् पण्डितो नावसृजेत् परेषु ॥
यस्मै देवाः प्रयच्छन्ति पुरुषाय पराभवम् ॥
बुद्धिं तस्यापकर्षन्ति सो ऽपाचीनानि पश्यति ॥
बुद्धौ कलुषभूतायां विनाशे प्रत्युपस्थिते ॥
अनयो नयसंकाशो हृदयान् नापसर्पति ॥
सेयं बुद्धिः परीता ते पुत्राणां तव भारत ॥
पाण्डवानां विरोधेन न चैनाम् अवबुध्यसे ॥
karṇinālīkanārācā nirharanti śarīrataḥ ||
vākśalyas tu na nirhartuṃ śakyo hṛdiśayo hi saḥ ||
vāksāyakā vadanān niṣpatanti; yair āhataḥ śocati rātryahāni ||
parasya nāmarmasu te patanti; tān paṇḍito nāvasṛjet pareṣu ||
yasmai devāḥ prayacchanti puruṣāya parābhavam ||
buddhiṃ tasyāpakarṣanti so 'pācīnāni paśyati ||
buddhau kaluṣabhūtāyāṃ vināśe pratyupasthite ||
anayo nayasaṃkāśo hṛdayān nāpasarpati ||
seyaṃ buddhiḥ parītā te putrāṇāṃ tava bhārata ||
pāṇḍavānāṃ virodhena na cainām avabudhyase ||
Endowed with all auspicious marks and worthy to rule the three worlds, Yudhishthira is obedient to your commands. Let him, O Dhritarashtra, rule the earth, to the exclusion of all your sons. Yudhishthira is the best of all your heirs. Endowed with energy and wisdom, versed in the truths of religion and gain, Yudhishthira, the greatest among the righteous, O king of kings, has endured much suffering out of kindness and compassion, in order to preserve his good name.

The passage 5.34.76-80 develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds against the backdrop of an already inevitable war. Key themes: the Pandavas, Karna. Dharma is revealed here through speech, the choice of an envoy, fidelity to promises, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
