"Send them word quickly. This is what I recommend. And let this priest of mine, a learned brahmin, be sent, O king, to Dhritarashtra. Tell him what words he should speak, and what should be said to Duryodhana; and how Bhishma should be addressed, and how Drona, best of chariot warriors!"

This passage (5.4.16-20) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already underway against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key theme: Karna. Dharma here is revealed through speech, the choice of envoys, faithfulness to one's word, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
