न च तत् कारणं विद्मो यस्मिन् नो मधुसूदन ॥
पूजां कृतां प्रीयमाणैर् नामंस्थाः पुरुषोत्तम ॥
वैरं नो नास्ति भवता गोविन्द न च विग्रहः ॥
स भवान् प्रसमीक्ष्यैतन् नेदृशं वक्तुम् अर्हति ॥

न च संप्रीयसे राजन् न चाप्य् आपद्गता वयम् ॥

And the hero of the Vrishnis, approaching the illustrious King Dhritarashtra, greeted him and Bhishma with fitting words, losing no time. And, having offered them this homage according to established custom, Madhava, the slayer of Madhu, greeted the other kings in accordance with their seniority in years. Then Janardana addressed the illustrious Drona and his son, and Valika, and Kripa, and Somadatta. And there, in that chamber, stood a spacious seat of exquisite workmanship, made of gold and adorned with precious stones.

This passage develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace already unfolds against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key theme: dharma. Dharma reveals itself here through speech, the choice of an envoy, faithfulness to one's promises, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
