नारद उवाच
इयं भोगवती नाम पुरी वासुकिपालिता ॥
यादृशी देवराजस्य पुरीवर्यामरावती ॥
एष शेषः स्थितो नागो येनेयं धार्यते सदा ॥
तपसा लोकमुख्येन प्रभावमहता मही ॥
श्वेतोच्चयनिभाकारो नानाविधविभूषणः ॥
सहस्रं धारयन् मूर्ध्नां ज्वालाजिह्वो महाबलः ॥
इह नानाविधाकारा नानाविधविभूषणाः ॥
सुरसायाः सुता नागा निवसन्ति गतव्यथाः ॥
मणिस्वस्तिकचक्राङ्काः कमण्डलुकलक्षणाः ॥
सहस्रसंख्या बलिनः सर्वे रौद्राः स्वभावतः ॥

Nārada said: 'This region belongs to the birds, all of whom have splendid plumage. They all feed on serpents. They never feel weariness, whether displaying their skill, undertaking journeys, or bearing burdens. This lineage, O charioteer, multiplied from the six sons of Garuḍa. These are Sumukha, Sunāman, Sunetra, Suvarcas, Suañc, and that prince of birds named Suvala.'

This passage carries forward the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds even as war draws inevitably near. Dharma reveals itself here through speech, through the choice of an embassy, through fidelity to one's word, and through the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
