विष्वक्सेन कुरून् गत्वा भरताञउ्छमय प्रभो । यथा सर्वे सुमनस: सह स्याम सुचेतस:,विष्वकूसेन प्रभो! आप कुरुदेशमें जाकर भरत-वंशियोंको शान्त कीजिये, जिससे हम सब लोग शुद्ध हृदयसे प्रसन्नचित्त होकर एक साथ रह सकें
Viṣvaksena kurūn gatvā bharatān śamaya prabho | yathā sarve sumanasaḥ saha syāma sucetasaḥ ||
Yudhiṣṭhira berkata: “Wahai tuan Viṣvaksena, pergilah ke negeri Kuru dan damaikan sanak saudara Bharata, agar kita semua dapat hidup bersama—sehati—dengan hati yang disucikan dan fikiran yang tenteram.”

Educational Q&A
Even amid looming conflict, the dharmic priority is to seek reconciliation: calming anger and restoring shared, clear-minded harmony is presented as the ethical aim before resorting to force.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Viṣvaksena and urges him to go to the Kuru/Bharata relatives to soothe tensions, hoping that all parties can remain together with peaceful minds rather than fracture into war.
