And Madhava, having duly greeted all the Kurus in their assembly, then set out for Vidura's delightful abode; and Vidura, approaching Janardana of the Dasharha line, came to his dwelling and worshipped him with every auspicious and desirable offering. And he said: ‘What use is it, O lotus-eyed one, to tell you of the joy I feel at your arrival, for you are the inner Soul of all embodied beings.’ And when the rites of hospitality were concluded, Vidura, who knew all the principles of morality, inquired of Govinda, the slayer of Madhu, about the welfare of the Pandavas.

This passage develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace already unfolds against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key figures: Krishna, Duryodhana, Vidura, Bhishma. Dharma reveals itself here through speech, the choice of an envoy, faithfulness to one's promises, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
