Yudhishthira said What words, of mine, O Sanjaya, have you heard meaning ever, that you fear war. The reverse of war, is better than war. Who having got that (peace) goes to war, O Suta?
युधिष्ठिर उवाच कां नु वाचं संजय मे शृणोषि युद्धैषिणी येन युद्धाद् बिभेषि। अयुद्धं वै तात युद्धाद् गरीयः कस्तल्लब्ध्वा जातु युद्ध्येत सूत॥
