ततो जग्राह देवेन्द्रं वृत्रो वीरः शतक्रतुम् ॥
अपावृत्य स जग्रास वृत्रः क्रोधसमन्वितः ॥
ग्रस्ते वृत्रेण शक्रे तु संभ्रान्तास् त्रिदशास् तदा ॥
असृजंस् ते महासत्त्वा जृम्भिकां वृत्रनाशिनीम् ॥
विजृम्भमाणस्य ततो वृत्रस्यास्याद् अपावृतात् ॥
स्वान्य् अङ्गान्य् अभिसंक्षिप्य निष्क्रान्तो बलसूदनः ॥
ततः प्रभृति लोकेषु जृम्भिका प्राणिसंश्रिता ॥
जहृषुश् च सुराः सर्वे दृष्ट्वा शक्रं विनिःसृतम् ॥
ततः प्रववृते युद्धं वृत्रवासवयोः पुनः ॥
संरब्धयोस् तदा घोरं सुचिरं भरतर्षभ ॥
यदा व्यवर्धत रणे वृत्रो बलसमन्वितः ॥
त्वष्टुस् तपोबलाद् विद्वांस् तदा शक्रो न्यवर्तत ॥

And, filled with rage, he seized Indra and cast him into his mouth. And when Indra had been swallowed by Vritra, the alarmed elder gods, possessed of great power, created Jrimbhika to destroy Vritra. And when Vritra yawned and the mouth of the slayer of the Asura opened, Vala drew together the parts of his body and came forth from Vritra's mouth. And from that moment the yawn has been joined to the living breath of animate beings in the three worlds. And the gods rejoiced at Indra's emergence. And again a terrible battle began between Vritra and Indra, both full of fury. And this continued for a long time, O best of the race of Bharata. And when Vritra, inspired by the mighty spirit of Tvashtri and himself endowed with strength, gained the upper hand in the fight, Indra turned back. And when he retreated, the gods were exceedingly distressed. And all of them, together with Indra, were overpowered by the might of Tvashtri.

This passage (5.9.46-50) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds against the backdrop of an already inevitable war. Key theme: war. Dharma is revealed here through speech, the choice of envoys, faithfulness to promises, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
