एतत् तु नागलोकस्य नाभिस्थाने स्थितं पुरम् ॥
पातालम् इति विख्यातं दैत्यदानवसेवितम् ॥
इदम् अद्भिः समं प्राप्ता ये के चिद् ध्रुवजङ्गमाः ॥

अत्रासुरो ऽग्निः सततं दीप्यते वारिभोजनः ॥

Vaishampayana said: 'Having heard the words of Jamadagni, the renowned sage Kanva likewise spoke these words to Duryodhana in that assembly of the Kurus.' Kanva said: 'Brahma, the Progenitor of the universe, is imperishable and eternal. These illustrious sages, Nara and Narayana, share the same nature. Of all the sons of Aditi, only Vishnu is eternal. He alone is invincible and indestructible, existing forever, the Lord of all and possessor of divine qualities. All others -- the sun and moon, the earth and water, wind, fire, and the vault of heaven, the planets and the stars -- are subject to destruction.'

This passage (5.97.1-5) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already underway against the backdrop of an unavoidable war. Dharma unfolds here through speech, the choice of an embassy, fidelity to one's word, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
