वृद्धो राजा धृतराष्ट्रः स्वधर्मं नानुपश्यति ॥
पश्यन् वा पुत्रगृद्धित्वान् मन्दस्यान्वेति शासनम् ॥
सुयोधनमते तिष्ठन् राजास्मासु जनार्दन ॥
मिथ्या चरति लुब्धः संश् चरन् प्रियम् इवात्मनः ॥
इतो दुःखतरं किं नु यत्राहं मातरं ततः ॥
संविधातुं न शक्नोमि मित्राणां वा जनार्दन ॥
काशिभिश् चेदिपाञ्चालैर् मत्स्यैश् च मधुसूदन ॥
भवता चैव नाथेन पञ्च ग्रामा वृता मया ॥
कुशस्थलं वृकस्थलम् आसन्दी वारणावतम् ॥
अवसानं च गोविन्द किं चिद् एवात्र पञ्चमम् ॥
vṛddho rājā dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ svadharmaṃ nānupaśyati ||
paśyan vā putragṛddhitvān mandasyānveti śāsanam ||

The old king Dhritarashtra does not see his own duty; or, seeing it, out of greedy attachment to his son, he follows the counsel of that fool. The king stands by Suyodhana's opinion toward us, O Janardana. Greedy, he acts falsely, seeking what is pleasing to himself alone. What could be more grievous than this — that I cannot even provide for my mother or my friends, O Janardana? With the Kashis, the Chedis, the Panchalas, and the Matsyas, and with you yourself as our protector, O Madhusudana, I have asked for only five villages — Kushasthala, Vrikasthala, Asandi, Varanavata, and some fifth place besides, O Govinda.

This passage develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace unfolds even as war draws near and seems unavoidable. Key themes: Dhritarashtra, dharma. Dharma here comes to light through speech, the choice of envoys, faithfulness to promises, and the responsibility kings bear for the consequences of their decisions.
