Book 5 of Kisari Mohan Ganguli's complete English prose translation of the Mahabharata, published in parts by Pratap Chandra Roy, Calcutta. The Udyoga Parva tells of the Pandavas' return from exile and the fruitless diplomacy that precedes the war: the embassies and Krishna's failed peace mission to the Kuru court, the counsel of Vidura and Sanat-sujata, the story of Amba, and the marshalling of the two armies at Kurukshetra.
