जनार्दनं चापि समेत्य तात; महामात्रं वीर्यवताम् उदारम् ॥
अनामयं मद्वचनेन पृच्छेर्; धृतराष्ट्रः पाण्डवैः शान्तिम् ईप्सुः ॥
न तस्य किं चिद् वचनं न कुर्यात्; कुन्तीपुत्रो वासुदेवस्य सूत ॥
प्रियश् चैषाम् आत्मसमश् च कृष्णो; विद्वांश् चैषां कर्मणि नित्ययुक्तः ॥
समानीय पाण्डवान् सृञ्जयांश् च; जनार्दनं युयुधानं विराटम् ॥
अनामयं मद्वचनेन पृच्छेः; सर्वांस् तथा द्रौपदेयांश् च पञ्च ॥
यद् यत् तत्र प्राप्तकालं परेभ्यस्; त्वं मन्येथा भारतानां हितं च ॥
तत् तद् भाषेथाः संजय राजमध्ये; न मूर्छयेद् यन् न भवेच् च युद्धम् ॥
janārdanaṃ cāpi sametya tāta; mahāmātraṃ vīryavatām udāram ||
anāmayaṃ madvacanena pṛccher; dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ pāṇḍavaiḥ śāntim īpsuḥ ||
na tasya kiṃ cid vacanaṃ na kuryāt; kuntīputro vāsudevasya sūta ||
priyaś caiṣām ātmasamaś ca kṛṣṇo; vidvāṃś caiṣāṃ karmaṇi nityayuktaḥ ||

O Suta, there is nothing that Yudhishthira, son of Kunti, would not do at Krishna's word. Keshava is as dear to them as their own selves. Possessed of great knowledge, he is ever devoted to their cause. You shall also ask, on my behalf, after the welfare of all the assembled sons of Pandu, the Srinjayas, Satyaki, and Virata, as well as all five sons of Draupadi, speaking to them as my own emissary. And whatever you deem fitting and beneficial for the race of Bharata, all that, O Sanjaya, you must speak among those kings -- everything that, in truth, will neither give offense nor provoke war.

Key themes: Krishna, the Pandavas, Dhritarashtra, Sanjaya, war. Here dharma reveals itself through speech, the choice of an embassy, faithfulness to one's word, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
