विदीर्यते मे हृदयं भीमवाक्शल्यपीडितम् ॥
यो ऽयम् अद्य महाबाहुर् धर्मं समनुपश्यति ॥
इत्य् उक्त्वा बाष्पसन्नेन कण्ठेनायतलोचना ॥
रुरोद कृष्णा सोत्कम्पं सस्वरं बाष्पगद्गदम् ॥
स्तनौ पीनायतश्रोणी सहिताव् अभिवर्षती ॥
द्रवीभूतम् इवात्युष्णम् उत्सृजद् वारि नेत्रजम् ॥
ताम् उवाच महाबाहुः केशवः परिसान्त्वयन् ॥
अचिराद् द्रक्ष्यसे कृष्णे रुदतीर् भरतस्त्रियः ॥
एवं ता भीरु रोत्स्यन्ति निहतज्ञातिबान्धवाः ॥
हतमित्रा हतबला येषां क्रुद्धासि भामिनि ॥
vidīryate me hṛdayaṃ bhīmavākśalyapīḍitam ||
yo 'yam adya mahābāhur dharmaṃ samanupaśyati ||
ity uktvā bāṣpasannena kaṇṭhenāyatalocanā ||
ruroda kṛṣṇā sotkampaṃ sasvaraṃ bāṣpagadgadam ||

acirād drakṣyase kṛṣṇe rudatīr bharatastriyaḥ ||
evaṃ tā bhīru rotsyanti nihatajñātibāndhavāḥ ||
hatamitrā hatabalā yeṣāṃ kruddhāsi bhāmini ||
They will urge the ruler of men, Dhritarashtra, and the sinful-natured Suyodhana, and his counselors, to act in accordance with wise counsel. When you, O Janardana, are the speaker and Vidura the listener, what matter cannot be set forth smoothly and clearly?'

This passage (5.80.41-45) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort for peace unfolds even as war becomes inevitable. Key themes: Krishna, dharma. Dharma reveals itself here through speech, the choice of an emissary, faithfulness to promises, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
