श्रुतायुश् चित्रसेनश् च पुरुमित्रो विविंशतिः ॥
शलो भूरिश्रवाश् चोभौ विकर्णश् च तवात्मजः ॥
अक्षौहिण्यो हि मे राजन् दशैका च समाहृताः ॥
न्यूनाः परेषां सप्तैव कस्मान् मे स्यात् पराजयः ॥
बलं त्रिगुणतो हीनं योध्यं प्राह बृहस्पतिः ॥
परेभ्यस् त्रिगुणा चेयं मम राजन्न् अनीकिनी ॥
गुणहीनं परेषां च बहु पश्यामि भारत ॥
गुणोदयं बहुगुणम् आत्मनश् च विशां पते ॥
एतत् सर्वं समाज्ञाय बलाग्र्यं मम भारत ॥
न्यूनतां पाण्डवानां च न मोहं गन्तुम् अर्हसि ॥

śalo bhūriśravāś cobhau vikarṇaś ca tavātmajaḥ ||
akṣauhiṇyo hi me rājan daśaikā ca samāhṛtāḥ ||
nyūnāḥ pareṣāṃ saptaiva kasmān me syāt parājayaḥ ||
balaṃ triguṇato hīnaṃ yodhyaṃ prāha bṛhaspatiḥ ||

nyūnatāṃ pāṇḍavānāṃ ca na mohaṃ gantum arhasi ||
You ought not to grieve over this exertion. This very thing was said by me, and also by the wise Vidura, during the game of dice. All these your lamentations over the Pandavas, as though you were a helpless man, O king, are of no use.

This passage develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort for peace is already being made against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key themes: the Pandavas, Karna. Dharma reveals itself here through speech, the choice of envoys, faithfulness to one's word, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
