दृश्यन्ते हि दुरात्मानो वध्यमानाः स्वकर्मभिः ॥
इन्द्रियाणाम् अनीशत्वाद् राजानो राज्यविभ्रमैः ॥
असंत्यागात् पापकृताम् अपापांस्; तुल्यो दण्डः स्पृशते मिश्रभावात् ॥
शुष्केणार्द्रं दह्यते मिश्रभावात्; तस्मात् पापैः सह संधिं न कुर्यात् ॥
निजान् उत्पततः शत्रून् पञ्च पञ्चप्रयोजनान् ॥
यो मोहान् न निगृह्णाति तम् आपद् ग्रसते नरम् ॥
अनसूयार्जवं शौचं संतोषः प्रियवादिता ॥
दमः सत्यम् अनायासो न भवन्ति दुरात्मनाम् ॥
आत्मज्ञानम् अनायासस् तितिक्षा धर्मनित्यता ॥
वाक् चैव गुप्ता दानं च नैतान्य् अन्त्येषु भारत ॥
dṛśyante hi durātmāno vadhyamānāḥ svakarmabhiḥ ||
indriyāṇām anīśatvād rājāno rājyavibhramaiḥ ||
asaṃtyāgāt pāpakṛtām apāpāṃs; tulyo daṇḍaḥ spṛśate miśrabhāvāt ||
śuṣkeṇārdraṃ dahyate miśrabhāvāt; tasmāt pāpaiḥ saha saṃdhiṃ na kuryāt ||
nijān utpatataḥ śatrūn pañca pañcaprayojanān ||
yo mohān na nigṛhṇāti tam āpad grasate naram ||
anasūyārjavaṃ śaucaṃ saṃtoṣaḥ priyavāditā ||
damaḥ satyam anāyāso na bhavanti durātmanām ||
ātmajñānam anāyāsas titikṣā dharmanityatā ||
vāk caiva guptā dānaṃ ca naitāny antyeṣu bhārata ||

The passage 5.34.66-70 develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds against the backdrop of an already inevitable war. Key themes: peace, dharma. Dharma is revealed here through speech, the choice of an envoy, fidelity to promises, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
