यत् तच् छुक्रं महज् ज्योतिर् दीप्यमानं महद् यशः ॥
तद् वै देवा उपासन्ते यस्माद् अर्को विराजते ॥
योगिनस् तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम् ॥
शुक्राद् ब्रह्म प्रभवति ब्रह्म शुक्रेण वर्धते ॥
तच् छुक्रं ज्योतिषां मध्ये ऽतप्तं तपति तापनम् ॥

योगिनस् तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम् ॥
उभौ च देवौ पृथिवीं दिवं च; दिशश् च शुक्रं भुवनं बिभर्ति ॥
तस्माद् दिशः सरितश् च स्रवन्ति; तस्मात् समुद्रा विहिता महान्तः ॥

Sanatsujāta said: 'Sorrow, anger, greed, lust, ignorance, sloth, malice, self-conceit, constant striving after gain, attachment, envy, and evil speech — these twelve, O king, are grave faults that ruin human lives. Each of them, O king, waits for the chance to seize hold of mankind. Overpowered by them, people lose their reason and commit sinful deeds. The fierce, the garrulous, the wrathful, and the boastful — these six evil dispositions, on acquiring wealth, are unable to treat others with courtesy. He who counts sensual gratification as the aim of life, he who is self-satisfied, he who boasts of his gifts, he who never spends, he who is weak of mind, he who is given to vanity, and he who hates his own wife — these seven are reckoned wicked men of sinful habits.'

This passage (5.45.1–5) carries forward the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort for peace unfolds already against the backdrop of an unavoidable war. Dharma here reveals itself through speech, through the choice of an embassy, through fidelity to one's word, and through the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
