द्रक्ष्यसे देवराजानम् इन्द्रं शीघ्रम् इहागतम् ॥
न भेतव्यं च नहुषात् सत्यम् एतद् ब्रवीमि ते ॥
समानयिष्ये शक्रेण नचिराद् भवतीम् अहम् ॥
अथ शुश्राव नहुष इन्द्राणीं शरणं गताम् ॥
बृहस्पतेर् अङ्गिरसश् चुक्रोध स नृपस् तदा ॥
drakṣyase devarājānam indraṃ śīghram ihāgatam ||
na bhetavyaṃ ca nahuṣāt satyam etad bravīmi te ||
samānayiṣye śakreṇa nacirād bhavatīm aham ||
atha śuśrāva nahuṣa indrāṇīṃ śaraṇaṃ gatām ||
bṛhaspater aṅgirasaś cukrodha sa nṛpas tadā ||
'You shall see Indra, the lord of the gods, return here soon. Truly I say to you: do not fear Nahusha; I shall soon reunite you with Indra.' Now Nahusha learned that Indra's queen had taken refuge with Brihaspati, son of Angiras. And at this the king flew into a rage.'

This passage (5.11.21-22) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds against the backdrop of an already inevitable war. Here dharma reveals itself through speech, the choice of an embassy, faithfulness to one's word, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
