You seek to make the mighty-armed hero of the Vrishni race your own possession; thus you seek to separate Keshava from the Pandavas. But I tell you that neither by wealth, nor by attention, nor by worship are you able to separate Krishna from Dhananjaya. I know the generosity of Krishna; I know Arjuna's steadfast devotion to him; I know that Dhananjaya, who is Keshava's very life, is incapable of forsaking him.

This passage (5.87.16-20) carries forward the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort for peace unfolds even as war draws inevitably near. Dhritarashtra is the key figure here. Dharma reveals itself through speech, through the choice of an embassy, through faithfulness to one's word, and through the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
