नहुषस् तां ततो दृष्ट्वा विस्मितो वाक्यम् अब्रवीत् ॥
स्वागतं ते वरारोहे किं करोमि शुचिस्मिते ॥
भक्तं मां भज कल्याणि किम् इच्छसि मनस्विनि ॥
तव कल्याणि यत् कार्यं तत् करिष्ये सुमध्यमे ॥
न च व्रीडा त्वया कार्या सुश्रोणि मयि विश्वस ॥
सत्येन वै शपे देवि कर्तास्मि वचनं तव ॥
इन्द्राण्य् उवाच
यो मे त्वया कृतः कालस् तम् आकाङ्क्षे जगत्पते ॥
ततस् त्वम् एव भर्ता मे भविष्यसि सुराधिप ॥
कार्यं च हृदि मे यत् तद् देवराजावधारय ॥
वक्ष्यामि यदि मे राजन् प्रियम् एतत् करिष्यसि ॥
वाक्यं प्रणयसंयुक्तं ततः स्यां वशगा तव ॥
nahuṣas tāṃ tato dṛṣṭvā vismito vākyam abravīt ||
svāgataṃ te varārohe kiṃ karomi śucismite ||
bhaktaṃ māṃ bhaja kalyāṇi kim icchasi manasvini ||
tava kalyāṇi yat kāryaṃ tat kariṣye sumadhyame ||
na ca vrīḍā tvayā kāryā suśroṇi mayi viśvasa ||
satyena vai śape devi kartāsmi vacanaṃ tava ||
indrāṇy uvāca
yo me tvayā kṛtaḥ kālas tam ākāṅkṣe jagatpate ||
tatas tvam eva bhartā me bhaviṣyasi surādhipa ||
kāryaṃ ca hṛdi me yat tad devarājāvadhāraya ||
vakṣyāmi yadi me rājan priyam etat kariṣyasi ||
vākyaṃ praṇayasaṃyuktaṃ tataḥ syāṃ vaśagā tava ||
And Nahusha, seeing her, spoke to her, smiling, and said: 'Welcome to you, O woman of lovely hips. What is your pleasure, O you of the sweet smile? Accept me, who am devoted to you, O gracious one. What do you desire, O spirited woman? I shall fulfill your wish, O woman of pleasant glances and slender waist. And you need feel no shame, O woman of lovely hips. Trust me. By truth I swear, O goddess, that I shall do your bidding.' Indrani said: 'O lord of the world, I need the time that you have granted me. After that, O lord of the gods, you shall become my husband. I have a wish. Listen and hear, O king of the gods, what I shall say, O king, so that you may do what I desire. This is the favor I ask of your love for me.'

This passage (5.15.6-10) continues the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds even against the backdrop of an unavoidable war. Dharma reveals itself here through speech, the choice of envoys, faithfulness to one's word, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
