Vaishampayana said: 'Then Bhishma, son of Shantanu, having heard the words of Keshava, spoke to the impatient Duryodhana, O bull among the Bharatas: "Krishna, wishing peace for his friends, has spoken a word to you; consider it, child, and do not fall under the sway of anger. Without carrying out the word of the great-souled Keshava, child, you will never obtain good, happiness, or prosperity. Mighty-armed Keshava has told you a righteous and beneficial course; accept that course, O king, and do not destroy your subjects. Through your evil nature you will strip the Bharatas of this blazing royal glory, renowned among all kings, even while Dhritarashtra still lives."'

In this chapter, the elders of the Kurus, one after another, affirm Krishna's words: peace with the Pandavas is not weakness but the only way to preserve the family, the parents, the subjects, and the royal glory. Duryodhana is warned not with abstract phrases but through the concrete consequences of his choice: the death of his kin, the loss of the kingdom, and remorse to come.
