Narada: Narada continued: "Here, at the very center of the world of the nagas, lies a city known as Patalam. It is celebrated throughout the universe, and worshipped by the Daityas and Danavas. Creatures that dwell upon the earth, if swept here by the force of a current of water, shriek loudly, overcome with fear. Here a fire burns without ceasing, known as the Fire of the Asura, sustained by water. Held firmly in place by the command of the gods, it does not move, regarding itself as bound and confined. It was here that the gods, having first conquered and slain their enemies, drank the Amrita and left the remainder. It is from here that the waning and waxing moon can be seen. It is here, on every auspicious occasion, that the son of Aditi, the Horse-headed One (Vishnu), rises, filling the universe—otherwise called Suvarna—with the sounds of Vedic hymns and mantras."

This passage (5.99.1-5) develops the central theme of the Udyoga-parva: the effort toward peace is already underway against the backdrop of an unavoidable war. Dharma reveals itself here through speech, the choice of an embassy, faithfulness to one's word, and the responsibility of kings for the consequences of their decisions.
