Yudhishthira said, 'Here are the Pandavas, the Srinjayas, Krishna, Yuyudhana, and Virata. O son of the charioteer Gavalgana, share with us all that Dhritarashtra has instructed you to tell us.' Sanjaya replied, 'I greet Yudhishthira, Vrikodara, Dhananjaya, the two sons of Madri, Vasudeva, Satyaki, the wise leader of the Panchalas, and Dhrishtadyumna, the son of Prishata. Everyone should listen closely to what I am about to say for the good of the Kurus. King Dhritarashtra, eager for peace, hastened my chariot's preparation for this journey. May it be accepted by King Yudhishthira along with his brothers, sons, and relatives. Let the son of Pandu choose peace. The sons of Pritha are virtuous, steadfast, gentle, and honest. They come from a noble lineage, and they are kind, generous, and averse to actions that would bring shame. They understand what is right. You, being noble and commanding a powerful army, should not engage in dishonourable acts. If you were to commit a wrong, it would stain your good name, like a drop of ink on white cloth. Who would knowingly engage in an act that leads to mass slaughter, which is sinful and would lead to damnation? Such an act, whether victorious or not, holds the same consequences. Blessed are those who have served their kin.'. They are the true sons, friends, and relatives of Kuru's lineage who would sacrifice their lives—a life that can be easily marred by wrongdoing—to ensure the safety of the Kurus. If you, sons of Pritha, punish the Kurus by defeating and killing all your enemies, then your future existence would be meaningless, for what is life after slaying all your kin? Who, even if he were Indra himself with the gods at his command, could conquer you, backed by Kesava, Chekitanas, Satyaki, and protected by Dhrishtadyumna? Who can defeat the Kurus, shielded by Drona, Bhishma, Aswatthaman, Salya, Kripa, and Karna, along with numerous Kshatriya kings? Who could slay the vast army gathered by Dhritarashtra's son without suffering loss themselves? Therefore, I see no benefit in victory or defeat. How can the sons of Pritha, like lowly folk, engage in unjust actions? So, I bow down before Krishna and the venerable king of the Panchalas. I seek refuge in you with joined hands, wishing for the good of both the Kurus and the Srinjayas. It's unlikely that Krishna or Dhananjaya would ignore my plea; either would willingly give their lives if asked. Thus, I express this for the success of my purpose. This is the wish of the king and his advisor Bhishma—that lasting peace may be established between you and the Kurus.'" |

Yudhishthira said, 'What have you heard from me, O Sanjaya, that makes you think there will be war? Peace is far better than conflict. Who would choose to fight if they had another option? I know that if a person could have all their desires fulfilled without effort, they wouldn't want to do anything, especially not go to war. Why would anyone choose to fight? Who is so unfortunate that they would choose war? The sons of Pritha seek their own happiness, yet they always act justly and for the greater good. A man who sets a fire in a dense forest on a spring afternoon will surely regret it when that fire spreads, if he hopes to escape. O Sanjaya, why does King Dhritarashtra lament, despite his fortune? Dhritarashtra's son stubbornly thinks he can take what rightfully belongs to the sons of Pandu, even though he saw how Arjuna consoled himself with nothing but a bow in battle. Dhritarashtra's sons are still alive only because they have not yet faced the sound of the Gandiva bow. Duryodhana believes he has already succeeded as long as he does not see the fierce Bhima. O sire, even Indra wouldn't dare strip us of our kingdom as long as Bhima, Arjuna, and the brave Nakula and patient Sahadeva are still standing!' "Krishna said, 'I wish, O Sanjaya, that the sons of Pandu may not suffer destruction; I hope they thrive and achieve their goals. Likewise, I pray for the well-being of King Dhritarashtra, who has many sons. Truly, O Sanjaya, my only wish has been to convey that peace would be welcomed by King Dhritarashtra. I believe it would be wise for the sons of Pandu as well. Pandu's son has shown an unusual patience in this matter. However, given Dhritarashtra and his sons' greed, I don’t see why hostility shouldn’t escalate. You cannot claim, O Sanjaya, to understand better than I or Yudhishthira when it comes to the complexities of right and wrong. So why do you criticize Yudhishthira, who has always been proactive, dutiful, and considerate of his family's well-being according to moral principles? Under these circumstances, it would be honourable for us to die fighting. A kingdom inherited from our father is far better than one given by a stranger.' Yudhisthira said, 'O son of Gavalgana, when you meet the mighty Dhritarashtra, tell him from us – the sons of Pandu are living well because of your strength. You should also speak to the unyielding prince Duryodhana, seated among the Kurus, and plead with him repeatedly, saying – we are willing to endure the insults you threw at the innocent and defenseless Draupadi in front of everyone, simply because we do not wish to see the Kurus harmed. Other wrongs, both before and after, we also bear quietly, even though we could seek revenge. The Kauravas understand this. O kind one, you even banished us dressed in deer-skins, and we tolerate that as well, as we want to avoid conflict with the Kurus. Dussasana, at your command, mistreated Krishna, ignoring Kunti. We will forgive that too.' But, O punisher of enemies, we must receive our rightful share of the kingdom. O leader among men, turn your greedy heart away from what belongs to others. Then, O king, peace will fill our joyful hearts. We long for peace; grant us even a single province of the empire. Give us Kusasthala, Vrikasthala, Makandi, Varanavata, and for the fifth, any place you choose. This will resolve the conflict. O Suyodhana, give your five brothers at least five villages. O Sanjaya, wise one, let peace exist between us and our cousins. Tell him this too: let brothers support each other, let fathers unite with their sons. Let the Panchalas and the Kurus share in joyful laughter. All I desire is to see the Kurus and the Panchalas thriving and united. O noble of the Bharata lineage, with happy hearts let us seek peace. O Sanjaya, I can stand for both war and peace. I am ready to gain wealth and uphold righteousness. I am just as capable of toughness as I am of kindness. Vaisampayana said, 'Having been respectfully dismissed by the Pandavas, Sanjaya set off for Hastinapura, having fulfilled all the wishes of the great Dhritarashtra.' |

Upon arriving in Hastinapura (and standing before Dhritarashtra), Sanjaya spoke, saying, 'I am Sanjaya, O king, and I bow to you. Chief among men, I found the sons of Pandu. After greeting you, Yudhishthira, Pandu's wise son, inquired about your well-being. Pleased by this, he also asked about your sons, and whether you find happiness with your sons, grandsons, friends, and advisors, and with all who rely on you.' Dhritarashtra responded, 'O child, as I give my blessings to Ajatasatru, I ask you, Sanjaya, how that king of the Kauravas, Pritha's son, fares along with his sons and brothers and advisors.' Sanjaya replied, 'Pandu's son is doing well with his advisors. He wishes to reclaim what he once owned. Following your son’s advice, you hope to enjoy this uncertain property while keeping others at a distance. Such a wrongful act is widely talked about. Therefore, O noble Bharata, this behaviour does not suit you. Who among those advised by wise counsellors, capable of discerning right from wrong in tough times, not lacking in religious practices and retaining all his abilities, would carry out such cruel actions?' I hold you responsible, for these conflicts among the Bharatas, of which you are the root, will surely lead to the ruin of countless lives. If peace is not achieved, then because of you, Arjuna will devour the Kurus like a raging fire consuming parched grass. O ruler of men, you alone of all, swayed by your son who is beyond restraint, thought yourself successful and failed to avoid conflict during the dice game. Look now at the results of your weakness! O king, by dismissing loyal advisors and valuing the untrustworthy, you are losing this vast and prosperous empire due to your frailty. Exhausted from my long journey, I ask your leave to rest now, O mighty leader, for tomorrow the Kurus will gather in the council hall to hear from Ajatasatru.' After the night passed, all the princes and leaders entered the court with joyful hearts, eager to see Sanjaya. Bhishma, Drona, Kripa, Salya, Kritavarman, Jayadratha, Aswatthaman, Vikarna, Somadatta, Vahlika, wise Vidura, and Yuyutsu, the great warrior, all these brave kings, led by Dhritarashtra, entered the splendid hall. 'Dhritarashtra said, 'Tell us, O Sanjaya, about the forces of Dhrishtadyumna, the Somakas, and all others with whom the Pandavas plan to battle us.'' |
