"Those whose father-in-law is Drupada, whose brothers-in-law are the Parshatas, heroes headed by Dhrishtadyumna, brothers, sons of Drupada; thus, having recognized above all their invincibility, O Bharata, and their rightful claim to inheritance under dharma, deal with them properly."

Here the argument of right is joined to the argument of strength. It is telling that Vidura links two grounds: the invincibility of their alliance and the legitimacy of their inheritance -- and so calls for 'dealing with them properly.' It becomes clear that both prudence and dharma lead to the same end: giving the Pandavas their due. Thus the text reveals the concord of strength and right; and both call for reconciliation rather than war.
