And Drupada's army too was adorned with valiant soldiers who had come from many lands, together with his own mighty sons. In the same way Virata, king of the Matsyas and lord of the army, came to the sons of Pandu, accompanied by the king of the hill country. And for the noble sons of Pandu, seven akshauhinis of warriors gathered from every side, bristling with banners of every form. And, eager to fight the Kauravas, they gladdened the hearts of the Pandavas. And likewise King Bhagadatta, gladdening the heart of Dhritarashtra's son, gave him an akshauhini of troops. And the unassailable mass of his army, filled with Chinas and Kiratas resembling golden figures, took on a beauty like that of a karnikara forest.

This passage (5.19.11–15) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already unfolding against the backdrop of an unavoidable war. Key themes: the Pandavas, Karna. Here dharma reveals itself through speech, through the choice of an embassy, through faithfulness to one's word, and through the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
