FORKLARING: Det var en offentlig hemmelighed, at Duryodhana i samarbejde med sin far, Dhṛtarāṣṭra, havde forsøgt at tilrane sig Pāṇḍavaernes kongerige igennem nedrige intriger. Derfor måtte alle de, der havde sluttet sig til Duryodhana, have haft en lignende indstilling. Arjuna ville gerne se dem på slagmarken, før krigen begyndte, om ikke andet, så for at se, hvem de var, for han havde ikke i sinde at indgå i fredsforhandlinger med dem. Noget andet var, at selv om han var helt sikker på sejr, fordi Kṛṣṇa var på hans side, ville han gerne bedømme den styrke, han skulle stå overfor.

It was an open secret that Duryodhana wanted to usurp the kingdom of the Pāṇḍavas by evil plans, in collaboration with his father, Dhṛtarāṣṭra. Therefore, all persons who had joined the side of Duryodhana must have been birds of the same feather. Arjuna wanted to see them on the battlefield before the fight was begun, just to learn who they were, but he had no intention of proposing peace negotiations with them. It was also a fact that he wanted to see them to make an estimate of the strength which he had to face, although he was quite confident of victory because Kṛṣṇa was sitting by his side.
