Those familiar with religion and the sacred scriptures also know that if a man who has merely intended in his mind to commit a sinful act does not actually commit it, the guilt of that act can never fall upon him. I shall strive with a sincere heart, O Vidura, to establish peace between the Kurus and the Srinjayas, who are destined to perish in battle.

This passage (5.93.16-20) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already underway against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key themes: the Pandavas, Karna, Bhishma. Dharma is revealed here through speech, the choice of embassy, faithfulness to promises, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
