The holy one said: 'Truly, what a man of great wisdom ought to say; indeed, what one endowed with great foresight ought to say; indeed, what such a one as you ought to say to such a friend as I; what is truly worthy of you, being in accord with virtue, profit, and truth — this, O Vidura, you have spoken to me as a father and mother would.'

This passage (5.93.1-5) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already underway against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key themes: Krishna, the Pandavas, Dhritarashtra. Dharma is revealed here through speech, the choice of embassy, faithfulness to promises, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
