संजय उवाच
हिरण्वत्यां निविष्टेषु पाण्डवेषु महात्मसु ॥
दुर्योधनो महाराज कर्णेन सह भारत ॥
सौबलेन च राजेन्द्र तथा दुःशासनेन च ॥
आहूयोपह्वरे राजन्न् उलूकम् इदम् अब्रवीत् ॥
उलूक गच्छ कैतव्य पाण्डवान् सहसोमकान् ॥
गत्वा मम वचो ब्रूहि वासुदेवस्य शृण्वतः ॥
इदं तत् समनुप्राप्तं वर्षपूगाभिचिन्तितम् ॥
पाण्डवानां कुरूणां च युद्धं लोकभयंकरम् ॥
यद् एतत् कत्थनावाक्यं संजयो महद् अब्रवीत् ॥
मध्ये कुरूणां कौन्तेय तस्य कालो ऽयम् आगतः ॥
यथा वः संप्रतिज्ञातं तत् सर्वं क्रियताम् इति ॥

Sanjaya said: When the great-souled Pandavas had encamped by the Hiranvati, Duryodhana, O great king, together with Karna, the son of Subala, and Duhshasana, O Bharata, called Uluka aside in private and said to him: "O Uluka, son of Kitava, go to the Pandavas together with the Somakas. Having gone, deliver my words so that Vasudeva may hear them: 'Now has come that dreadful war between the Pandavas and the Kurus, pondered over for many years — the war of which that great boastful speech Sanjaya once spoke in the midst of the Kurus. O Kaunteya, the time for that has now arrived. Let all that you once promised be fulfilled.'"

Uluka's message reveals Duryodhana's deliberate strategy: he is not merely declaring war but trying to inflame the Pandavas' pain, turning the memory of humiliation into a challenge. Truth is mixed with insult in these words — the suffering of Draupadi, the exile, and the vows genuinely call for an answer, yet they are voiced by the very man who caused that sin. Thus, before the battle begins, speech itself becomes a weapon.
