Commentary (टीका)
In this verse, Lord Kṛṣṇa is directing Arjuna's attention to the assembled Kurus in the battlefield, highlighting the presence of notable elders like Bhīṣma and Droṇa in the opposing camp. The core purpose of this action is to invoke a deeper introspection in Arjuna by making him realize his ties with both sides, which consist of relatives and beloved elders. The commentary suggests that this moment was orchestrated to stir a conflict within Arjuna's heart.
According to the Hindi commentary, Kṛṣṇa positions the chariot between the two armies in a place where Arjuna can see both his kin and his teachers. This placement serves a dual purpose: enlightening Arjuna with the reality of the situation and setting the stage for the discourse of the Bhagavad Gītā by creating the necessary psychological context – the awakening of familial affection intertwined with duty. This juxtaposition is intended to elevate Arjuna's internal conflict to a point where philosophical teachings become essential.
The act of instructing Arjuna to "behold" functions as a trigger for Arjuna’s internal dilemmas and sets the stage for the divine teaching of the Gītā. It shows Kṛṣṇa's strategic acumen in utilizing sight as a means to provoke thought, leading to Arjuna's transformation.
