Význam

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.

Bolo verejným tajomstvom, že Duryodhana spriadal spolu so svojím otcom Dhṛtarāṣṭrom nekalé plány, aby sa zmocnil kráľovstva Pāṇḍuovcov. Preto všetci, čo sa pridali k Duryodhanovi, museli zmýšľať rovnako, lebo „vrana k vrane sadá“. Arjuna sa chcel pred bojom ešte raz pozrieť na zhromaždených bojovníkov, ale nemal v úmysle ponúknuť im mier. V skutočnosti ich chcel vidieť len kvôli tomu, aby mohol odhadnúť ich silu, aj keď si bol celkom istý víťazstvom, pretože Kṛṣṇa stál po jeho boku.
