Therefore he will never make peace. You, O Keshava, wish to establish peace and brotherly feeling between the two sides. But know that all the sons of Dhritarashtra have resolved not to give the Pandavas what is truly theirs by right. With those so resolved, your words will surely prove in vain. Where, O slayer of Madhu, good words and bad have the same effect, no wise man wastes his breath, like a singer before the deaf.
