स चेद् एतां प्रतिपद्येत बुद्धिं; वृद्धो राजा सह पुत्रेण सूत ॥
एवं रणे पाण्डवकोपदग्धा; न नश्येयुः संजय धार्तराष्ट्राः ॥
जानासि त्वं क्लेशम् अस्मासु वृत्तं; त्वां पूजयन् संजयाहं क्षमेयम् ॥
यच् चास्माकं कौरवैर् भूतपूर्वं; या नो वृत्तिर् धार्तराष्ट्रे तदासीत् ॥
अद्यापि तत् तत्र तथैव वर्ततां; शान्तिं गमिष्यामि यथा त्वम् आत्थ ॥
इन्द्रप्रस्थे भवतु ममैव राज्यं; सुयोधनो यच्छतु भारताग्र्यः ॥
sa ced etāṃ pratipadyeta buddhiṃ; vṛddho rājā saha putreṇa sūta ||
evaṃ raṇe pāṇḍavakopadagdhā; na naśyeyuḥ saṃjaya dhārtarāṣṭrāḥ ||
jānāsi tvaṃ kleśam asmāsu vṛttaṃ; tvāṃ pūjayan saṃjayāhaṃ kṣameyam ||
yac cāsmākaṃ kauravair bhūtapūrvaṃ; yā no vṛttir dhārtarāṣṭre tadāsīt ||
adyāpi tat tatra tathaiva vartatāṃ; śāntiṃ gamiṣyāmi yathā tvam āttha ||
indraprasthe bhavatu mamaiva rājyaṃ; suyodhano yacchatu bhāratāgryaḥ ||
O charioteer, the old king, together with his son, still thinks that his sons will not perish, O Sanjaya, on the field of battle, consumed by the blazing wrath of the sons of Pandu. You know, Sanjaya, what suffering we have endured! For the honor I bear you, I would forgive them all. You know what passed between us and the sons of Kuru. You know how we consoled ourselves in dealing with Dhritarashtra's son. Let things remain just as they were. I shall pursue peace, as you counsel me to do. Let Indraprastha be granted to me as my kingdom; let it be given to me by Duryodhana, foremost of the house of Bharata.'

This passage (5.26.26-28) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds even as war draws inexorably near. Key themes: the Pandavas, Sanjaya. Dharma reveals itself here through speech, through the choice of an embassy, through faithfulness to one's word, and through the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
