Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 71 — Kṣatra-dharma Counsel, Public Legitimacy, and Mobilization
मोचयेयं मृत्युपाशात् संरब्धान् कुरुसृंजयान् । पाण्डवान् धार्तराष्ट्रांक्ष सर्वां च पृथिवीमिमाम्,'ऐसा होनेपर एक-दूसरेके प्रति रोषमें भरे हुए इन कौरवों, सूंजयों, पाण्डवों और धृतराष्ट्रपुत्रोंको तथा इस सारी पृथ्वीको भी मानो मैं मौतके फंदेसे छुड़ा लूँगा'
mocayeyam mṛtyupāśāt saṃrabdhān kurusṛñjayān | pāṇḍavān dhārtarāṣṭrāṃś ca sarvāṃ ca pṛthivīm imām ||
Vaiśampāyana said: “Thus, I would release from the noose of death these enraged Kurus and Sṛñjayas, the Pāṇḍavas and the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra—and indeed this entire earth as well.”

Educational Q&A
Unchecked anger (saṃrambha) leads communities toward collective ruin; therefore, preventing war is portrayed as an act of dharma that ‘frees’ not only individuals but the whole world from the death-snare.
In the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war diplomacy context, the narrator reports a resolve/claim that if reconciliation succeeds, the speaker would effectively save the enraged factions—Kurus, Sṛñjayas, Pāṇḍavas, and Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s sons—and even the earth itself from the catastrophe of war.
