'We bear this too, because we do not wish to see the Kurus slain. Duhshasana, obeying you, dragged Krishna-Draupadi by the hair in the assembly, and this too we have let pass unanswered. But, O scorcher of foes, we ought to receive our rightful share of the kingdom. O bull among men, turn your greedy mind away from what belongs to another. Then, O king, peace and mutual affection will prevail among us. We desire peace; grant us even one region of the realm. Give us but Kushasthala, Vrikasthala, Asandi, and Varanavata, and let some fifth place bring this quarrel to its end. O Suyodhana, give our five brothers even five villages.' O Sanjaya, O you of great wisdom, let there be peace between us and our kinsmen.

The passage 5.31.16-20 develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds against the backdrop of an already inevitable war. Key themes: Krishna, Sanjaya. Dharma is revealed here through speech, the choice of an envoy, faithfulness to one's word, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
