Explication
Looking as Krishna bids him, Arjuna sees not an army but a family. Sanjaya lists the relationships one after another: elders of his father's generation, grandsires, teachers, uncles on the mother's side, brothers, sons, grandsons and friends. The word fathers here includes uncles and elders of that rank. The piling up of kinship terms slows the narrative and lets the listener feel what Arjuna feels. This is the moment when the enemy acquires faces, and the warrior's clarity of a few verses earlier begins to dissolve.
