UDYOGAPARVA
After the marriage of Abhimanyu the Yadavas and the Pandavas met in the Sabha of King Virat. Krishna addresses them as to what is to be done about the future. We must do what is good both Kauravas and Pandavas. Dharma will accept anything—even one villaga—by Dharma. Even if he is given the whole kingdom by Duryodhana he will not accept it. Upto now the Pandavas have observed Niti. But if the Kauravas observe Aniti the Pandavas will not hesitate to kill the Kauravas. Let nobody be afraid on account of the fact that the Pandavas are a minority. They have many friends who will come to their rescue. We must try to know the wishes of the Kauravas. I suggest that we should send a messanger to Duryodhan and ask him to give part of the Kingdom to the Pandavas.—Udyog Parva, Adhya. 1.
Balaram supports the proposal of Krishna but added that it was the fault of Dharma knowing that he was losing at the hands of Shakuni. Therefore instead of fighting with the Kauravas get what you can by negotiation.— Ibid, Adhya. 2.
Satyaki got up and condemned Balaram for his attitude— Ibid Adhya. 3.
Drupad supports Satyaki. Drupad agrees to send his Purohit as a messanger— Ibid. Adhya. 4.
Krishna supports Drupad and goes to Dwarka. Kings invited by Drupad and Virat arrive. Similarly Kings invited by Duryodhan arrive.— Ibid, Adhya. 5.
