Heedless of the brahmins, endowed with power and intoxicated with the pride of his boon, capricious and wicked of soul, he compelled those sages to bear him. Meanwhile, released by Nahusha, Shachi went to Brihaspati and said: 'But little remains of the time granted to me by Nahusha. Show compassion to me, who honor you so, and swiftly find Indra.' Then the illustrious Brihaspati said to her: 'Very well; you need not fear, O goddess, that wicked-souled Nahusha. Surely he shall not hold his power for long. Indeed, the wretch is already doomed, both for his disregard of virtue and, O fair lady, for having compelled great sages to bear him. And I shall perform a sacrifice for the destruction of that evil-minded wretch, and I shall find Indra. You need not fear.'

This passage (5.15.21-25) continues the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds even against the backdrop of an unavoidable war. Key themes: dharma. 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.
