वशं नूनं गमिष्यन्ति भीमसेनबलार्दिताः ॥
मम पुत्राश् च भृत्याश् च राजानश् चैव संजय ॥
येन राजा महावीर्यः प्रविश्यान्तःपुरं पुरा ॥
वासुदेवसहायेन जरासंधो निपातितः ॥
कृत्स्नेयं पृथिवी देवी जरासंधेन धीमता ॥

He who conquered in battle the warriors of Kashi, Anga, and Kalinga -- with this Sahadeva the Pandavas will meet you in battle. He whose energy is equaled by only four men on earth, namely Ashvatthaman, Dhrishtaketu, Rukmi, and Pradyumna -- with this Sahadeva, the youngest in years, this hero among men, this joy of Madri's heart, you face, O king, a devastating battle. She who, being the daughter of the king of Kashi, practiced the most severe austerities; she who, O bull of the Bharata race, desiring even in a later life to bring about the destruction of Bhishma, took birth as the daughter of Panchala and later, by chance, became a man; who, O tiger among men, is versed in the virtues and faults of both sexes; that invincible prince of Panchala who met the Kalingas in battle -- with this Shikhandin, skilled in every kind of weapon, the Pandavas will fight against you.

This passage (5.50.36-40) 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, Bhishma. Dharma here reveals itself through speech, the choice of embassy, faithfulness to promises, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
