यथा च मम राज्ञश् च तथा दुर्योधनस्य ते ॥

'And as they are dear to me and to the king, so they are to Duryodhana, and so too to all the Kurus, and to others as well, O Bharata; such being the case, I do not approve of enmity with them. Having made peace with the heroes, let the land be given to them now, for this too is their kingdom—the kingdom of the forefathers and of the father, the best of the Kurus.'

Thus the scripture shows Bhishma's love of peace; and his counsel stands against scheming plots.
