Uitleg

Krishna places the chariot directly before Bhishma and Drona, the two elders Arjuna most reveres, and speaks his only words in this chapter: Partha, see these Kurus assembled. The choice of place and words seems deliberate. He calls Arjuna son of Pritha, recalling his mother Kunti, and calls the enemy Kurus, the family name both sides share. Many readers see Krishna here bringing Arjuna's hidden conflict into the open, so that it can be faced and answered rather than buried.
