महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-1, chapter-195, verse-4

तेषामपीदं प्रपितामहानां राज्यं पितुश्चैव कुरूत्तमानाम् ॥४॥

4. evaṁ gate vigrahaṁ tairna rocaye; saṁdhāya vīrairdīyatāmadya bhūmiḥ ,

4. evam gate vigraham taiḥ na rocaye
saṃdhāya vīraiḥ dīyatām adya bhūmiḥ

4. This being the situation, I do not approve of a conflict with them. Let the land be given to these heroes today after a peaceful settlement (saṃdhi). This kingdom belongs to their great-grandfathers and, indeed, to their father (Pandu), who was among the best of the Kurus.

4. בנסיבות כאלה אינני רוצה במלחמה בהם. לאחר שייעשה שלום, תינתן להם הארץ עוד היום, שהרי הממלכה הזאת שייכת גם להם, ממלכת אבות אבותיהם ואביהם, מבחר הקוּרוּ.
