'Thus was that wicked, evil-souled one cast down from the kingship of the gods, O subduer of foes. How fortunate, O Shakra, that we prosper — the thorn of the brahmins has been slain. Enter Trivishtapa, protect the worlds, O lord of Shachi, having mastered your senses and conquered your enemies, praised by the great rishis.' Shalya said: 'Then the gods, gathered with the hosts of great rishis, were exceedingly pleased, as were the Pitris, the Yakshas, the serpents, the Rakshasas, the Gandharvas, the daughters of the gods, and all the hosts of Apsaras. The lakes, the rivers, the mountains, and the seas too, O lord of the people, drew near and said: "How fortunate, O slayer of foes, that you prosper! How fortunate that Nahusha the wicked has been slain, by good fortune, by the wise Agastya! How fortunate that this vile man was turned into a serpent that wanders the earth!"'

This passage (5.17.16-20) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds even as war becomes inevitable. Here dharma reveals itself through speech, the choice of envoys, faithfulness to one's word, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
