यथा निदाघे ज्वलनः समिद्धो; दहेत् कक्षं वायुना चोद्यमानः ॥
गदाहस्तः पाण्डवस् तद्वद् एव; हन्ता मदीयान् सहितो ऽर्जुनेन ॥
yathā nidāghe jvalanaḥ samiddho; dahet kakṣaṃ vāyunā codyamānaḥ ||
gadāhastaḥ pāṇḍavas tadvad eva; hantā madīyān sahito 'rjunena ||
He who is the refuge of the Pandavas, as Vasava is of the gods — together with this Vasudeva, the Pandavas will fight against you. He too, O bull of the Bharata race — Sarabha, the brother of the king of Chedi, who has again joined with Karakarsha — together with both Pandavas will fight against you. Sahadeva, son of Jarasandha, and Jayasena, unsurpassed heroes in battle, are resolved to fight on the side of the Pandavas. And Drupada, endowed with great strength, accompanied by a large army and reckless of his own life, has resolved to fight on the side of the Pandavas. Relying on these and other kings of the eastern and northern lands, King Yudhishthira the Just prepares for battle.

The fragment 5.50.61 develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort for peace unfolds against the backdrop of an already inevitable war. Key theme: the Pandavas. Here dharma reveals itself through speech, the choice of an embassy, faithfulness to promises, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
