अनुवाद
And just as Kiritin surpasses in strength even all these armies taken together, so too does the son of Vasudeva surpass them, possessing great splendor and mighty intellect. Who could fight, considering the greatness of the opposing force, the valor of Arjuna, and the wisdom of Krishna? Therefore I ask you to return what ought to be given, as dictated by morality and by the agreement. Do not let this opportunity pass!"

This fragment (5.20.21) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already underway against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key theme: dharma. Dharma is revealed here through speech, the choice of envoys, faithfulness to promises, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
