It has ever been my desire, O Sanjaya, to say to them, “Be peaceful” nothing else. I hear that this is also the wish of the king (Dhritarashtra) and I consider this to be equally to the good of the sons of Pandu.
कामो हि मे संजय नित्यमेव नान्यद् व्रयां तान् प्रति शाम्यतेति। राज्ञश्च हि प्रियमेतच्छृणोमि मन्ये चैतत् पाण्डवानां समक्षम्॥
