Spiegazione

Arjuna adds that he wants to see those who have come to fight for Duryodhana, whom he calls durbuddhi, of wicked understanding. At this point his view is clear and confident: the opposing army serves a wrongdoer, and he is ready to face them. The word buddhi, understanding, will become central to the teaching, and here it appears first in its corrupted form. The verse records Arjuna's state of mind just before the turn, when he still sees the conflict as right against wrong.
