This passage (5.4.26-27) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already underway against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key themes: Duryodhana, Dhritarashtra. Dharma here is revealed through speech, the choice of envoys, faithfulness to one's word, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
