This passage (5.81.1-5) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort for peace unfolds against the backdrop of an already inevitable war. Key themes: the Pandavas, Dhritarashtra. Dharma is revealed here through speech, the choice of embassy, faithfulness to promises, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
