This passage (5.47.31–35) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds even as war draws inevitably near. Key themes: the Pandavas, war. Dharma reveals itself here through speech, the choice of envoys, fidelity to one's word, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
