Then is told the dispatch of the Purohita by the Pandavas to the Kurus. Greatly powerful Dhritarashtra, having heard the story of Indra's victory from the Purohita, sent Sanjaya to the Pandavas to ask for peace.
पुरोहितप्रेषणं च पाण्डवैः कौरवान्प्रति। वैचित्रवीर्यस्य वचः समादाय पुरोधसः॥ तथेन्द्रविजयं चापि यानं चैव पुरोधसः। संजयं प्रेषयामास शमार्थी पाण्डवान्प्रति॥
