Dhritarashtra said: 'O Sanjaya, when Madhusudana, surrounded by the princes and the ministers, seated Karna on the chariot and set out, what did that slayer of enemy heroes say to Radheya on the chariot's seat? What gentle words did Govinda address to the son of the suta? Tell me, O Sanjaya, whether Krishna, whose voice is like the roar of a torrent and a thundercloud, spoke something gentle or harsh in that hour.' Sanjaya said: 'O Bharata, hear from me those words which the immeasurable Madhusudana spoke to Radheya: words in due order, pleasing, gentle, dear to the heart, consistent with dharma, true, beneficial, and able to touch the heart.'

Dhritarashtra understands that Krishna's conversation with Karna could change the course of the war, so he asks not only about its content but also about its tone. Sanjaya immediately names the quality of Krishna's words: they are gentle, true, beneficial, and rooted in dharma — meant not to manipulate, but to awaken the heart.
