कस्य स्विद् भ्रातृपुत्राणां चिन्तासु मुखम् ईक्षते ॥
के स्विद् एनं वारयन्ति शाम्य युध्येति वा पुनः ॥

Vaishampayana said: "In the midst of all the assembled kings, O Bharata, Bhishma, son of Shantanu, then spoke these words to Duryodhana: 'Once Brihaspati and Shakra went to Brahma. The Maruts too, with Indra, the Vasus with Agni, the Adityas, the Sadhyas, the seven celestial Rishis, the Gandharvas, Vishvavasu, and, having bowed to the Lord of the Universe, all the dwellers of heaven sat down around him. At that moment the two ancient deities, the sages Nara and Narayana, as though drawing to themselves the minds and energies of all who were present, left that place, and Brihaspati asked Brahma, saying: "Who are these two who are leaving this place without bowing to you?"'"

This fragment (5.49.1-5) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already underway against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key themes: the Pandavas, Dhritarashtra, Sanjaya, dharma. Here dharma is revealed through speech, the choice of an embassy, faithfulness to promises, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
