धृतराष्ट्र उवाच
न सन्ति सर्वे पुत्रा मे मूढा दुर्द्यूतदेविनः ॥
येषां युद्धं बलवता भीमेन रणमूर्धनि ॥
राजानः पार्थिवाः सर्वे प्रोक्षिताः कालधर्मणा ॥
गाण्डीवाग्निं प्रवेक्ष्यन्ति पतङ्गा इव पावकम् ॥
विद्रुतां वाहिनीं मन्ये कृतवैरैर् महात्मभिः ॥
तां रणे के ऽनुयास्यन्ति प्रभग्नां पाण्डवैर् युधि ॥
सर्वे ह्य् अतिरथाः शूराः कीर्तिमन्तः प्रतापिनः ॥
सूर्यपावकयोस् तुल्यास् तेजसा समितिंजयाः ॥
येषां युधिष्ठिरो नेता गोप्ता च मधुसूदनः ॥
योधौ च पाण्डवौ वीरौ सव्यसाचिवृकोदरौ ॥

Dhritarashtra: ‘Indeed, just as Shakra’s many-colored bow is displayed across the sky, and no one knows of what it is made, so too this banner was devised by Bhaumana, for its form is manifold and ever-changing. And as a column of smoke mingled with fire rises up, covering the sky and showing forth a multitude of bright hues and graceful shapes, so too this banner, devised by Bhaumana, lifts up its head.

This passage (5.56.26-30) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already unfolding against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key figures: the Pandavas, Dhritarashtra, war, dharma. Dharma reveals itself here through speech, the choice of embassy, fidelity to one's word, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
