'Possessed of lovely hips, arrayed in splendid garments and adorned with enchanting ornaments, display gestures and caresses of love. Endowed with beauty, tempt him and ease my fear. My heart is uneasy, O gentle maidens. Avert, O ladies, this terrible danger that hangs over me.' Then the nymphs said: 'O Indra, O slayer of Bala, we shall make every effort to tempt him, so that you need have no fear of his hands. This very treasury of austerity, who now sits as though scorching everything with his eyes — O god, we shall go together to seduce him. We shall strive to bring him under our control and put an end to your fears.' Shalya continued: 'At Indra's command they then went to the three-headed being. And having arrived there, these beautiful women tempted him with various amorous gestures, displaying their lovely figures.'

The passage 5.9.11-15 develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already underway against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Dharma is revealed here through speech, the choice of envoys, fidelity to promises, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
