It is here that I once caught, for food, a huge elephant fighting a huge tortoise. It is here that the great sage Chakradhanu was born of Surya. Afterward this divine sage became known by the name Kapila, and it was through him that the sixty thousand sons of Sagara perished. It is here that a class of brahmins called the Shivas, who had fully mastered the Vedas, crowned their efforts with ascetic success. Having studied all the Vedas, they at last attained eternal liberation. In this region lies the city of Bhogavati, ruled over by Vasuki, the naga Takshaka, and also Airavata.

This passage (5.109.21-25) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort for peace is already underway against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Dharma is revealed here through speech, the choice of embassy, faithfulness to promises, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
