न चापि पार्थो विजितो रणे तैः; स्वतेजसा धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रैः ॥
तथापि राजा सहितः सुहृद्भिर्; अभीप्सते ऽनामयम् एव तेषाम् ॥
यत् तत् स्वयं पाण्डुसुतैर् विजित्य; समाहृतं भूमिपतीन् निपीड्य ॥
तत् प्रार्थयन्ते पुरुषप्रवीराः; कुन्तीसुता माद्रवतीसुतौ च ॥
बालास् त्व् इमे तैर् विविधैर् उपायैः; संप्रार्थिता हन्तुम् अमित्रसाहाः ॥
राज्यं जिहीर्षद्भिर् असद्भिर् उग्रैः; सर्वं च तद् वो विदितं यथावत् ॥
तेषां च लोभं प्रसमीक्ष्य वृद्धं; धर्मात्मतां चापि युधिष्ठिरस्य ॥
संबन्धितां चापि समीक्ष्य तेषां; मतिं कुरुध्वं सहिताः पृथक् च ॥
इमे च सत्ये ऽभिरताः सदैव; तं पारयित्वा समयं यथावत् ॥
अतो ऽन्यथा तैर् उपचर्यमाणा; हन्युः समेतान् धृतराष्ट्रपुत्रान् ॥

These valiant sons of Kunti and the two sons of Madri ask only for what they themselves, winning victory in battle, had conquered from defeated kings. You doubtless know well how these enemies of the Pandavas, aiming to seize the kingdom, tried by various means to destroy them while they were still mere boys, so wicked and malicious were they. Consider how grasping they are, and how virtuous Yudhishthira is. Consider too the relations existing between them. I entreat you all to take counsel together, and also to reflect separately. The Pandavas have always prized truth. They fulfilled their pledge to the letter. If the sons of Dhritarashtra were now to deal with them unjustly, they would slay them all, even should they unite against them. They have friends who, learning of unworthy treatment shown to them by others, would support them, take up the fight against their persecutors, and gladly slay them, even at the cost of their own lives. If you suppose their numbers too few to prevail over their enemies, know that, united and accompanied by their friends, they will doubtless spare no effort to destroy those enemies.

This passage (5.1.16-20) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort for peace is already underway against the backdrop of an inevitable war. Key theme: Dhritarashtra. Here dharma reveals itself through speech, the choice of an envoy, faithfulness to promises, and the kings' responsibility for the consequences of their decisions.
