A single stream of her milk, falling to the earth, created what is known as the sacred and excellent ‘Milky Ocean.’ The shore of this ocean is on every side ever covered with white foam, resembling a garland of flowers. The best of ascetics, known by the name of Foam-Drinkers, dwell around this ocean and subsist only on this foam. They are called foam-drinkers, O Matali, because they live on nothing but this foam.

This passage (5.102.6-10) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds against the backdrop of an unavoidable war. Dharma is revealed here through speech, the choice of embassy, fidelity to promises, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
