Those waters, O Matali, which yielded these treasures, were mingled with the milk of these four cows. As for Surabhi, the milk she gives becomes Svaha for those who live on Svadha, Svadha for those who live on Svadha, and Amrita for those who live on Amrita. The verse that the dwellers of Rasatala sang in ancient times can still be heard in the world from the learned. Here is that verse: ‘Neither in the realm of the nagas, nor in Svarga, nor in Vimana, nor in Tripishtapa is there so happy a dwelling as in Rasatala!’

This passage (5.102.26-29) 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.
