दुर्योधन उवाच
उभौ स्व एकजातीयौ तथोभौ भूमिगोचरौ ॥
अथ कस्मात् पाण्डवानाम् एकतो मन्यसे जयम् ॥
पितामहं च द्रोणं च कृपं कर्णं च दुर्जयम् ॥
जयद्रथं सोमदत्तम् अश्वत्थामानम् एव च ॥
सुचेतसो महेष्वासान् इन्द्रो ऽपि सहितो ऽमरैः ॥
अशक्तः समरे जेतुं किं पुनस् तात पाण्डवाः ॥
सर्वा च पृथिवी सृष्टा मदर्थे तात पाण्डवान् ॥
आर्यान् धृतिमतः शूरान् अग्निकल्पान् प्रबाधितुम् ॥
न मामकान् पाण्डवास् ते समर्थाः प्रतिवीक्षितुम् ॥
पराक्रान्तो ह्य् अहं पाण्डून् सपुत्रान् योद्धुम् आहवे ॥

Duryodhana: ‘And formerly a boon was granted, by which their number always remained complete, however many times they were slain. And to Yudhishthira’s chariot are yoked great horses, equal in vigor and white as ivory. And to Bhimasena’s chariot are yoked steeds endowed with the speed of the wind and the splendor of the Seven Rishis.

This passage (5.56.36-40) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already unfolding against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key figures: the Pandavas, Duryodhana, Karna. Dharma reveals itself here through speech, the choice of embassy, fidelity to one's word, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
