Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 30: Sañjaya’s Departure and Yudhiṣṭhira’s Commission of Greetings
भ्रातृणां देहि पञ्चानां पठ्च ग्रामान् सुयोधन । शान्तिनोस्तु महाप्राज्ञ ज्ञातिभि: सह संजय
bhrātṝṇāṃ dehi pañcānāṃ pañca grāmān suyodhana | śāntir no 'stu mahāprajña jñātibhiḥ saha sañjaya ||
ယုဓိဋ္ဌိရက ပြောသည်— «အို စုယောဓန၊ ငါတို့ ညီအစ်ကိုငါးယောက်အတွက် ရွာငါးရွာ ပေးပါ။ အို စဉ္ဇယ၊ မဟာပညာရှိ၊ ဤသို့ဖြစ်လျှင် ငါတို့သည် မိသားစုဝင် ဆွေမျိုးများနှင့်အတူ ငြိမ်းချမ်းရေးကို ထိန်းထားနိုင်မည်»။

Educational Q&A
Even when one has strong claims, dharma favors restraint and reconciliation: Yudhiṣṭhira asks only for a minimal share—five villages for five brothers—so that peace with relatives may be maintained and war averted.
During the pre-war negotiations in the Udyoga Parva, Yudhiṣṭhira voices a compromise to Duryodhana (Suyodhana), conveyed in the diplomatic context involving Sañjaya, proposing that granting five villages would secure peace among the Kauravas and Pāṇḍavas.
