yotsyamānān avekṣhe ’haṁ ya ete ’tra samāgatāḥ dhārtarāṣhṭrasya durbuddher yuddhe priya-chikīrṣhavaḥ
Translation
I want to see those who have gathered here to fight, wishing to please the evil-minded son of Dhritarashtra in this war.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
मैं उन्हें देखना चाहता हूँ जो दुर्बुद्धि धृतराष्ट्र-पुत्र (दुर्योधन) का प्रिय करने की इच्छा से यहाँ युद्ध करने आए हैं।
Commentary
At this point Arjun still thinks of the opposing army as Duryodhan's supporters — people who chose the wrong side. His language is confident and even scornful. Within a few verses, those same faces will become grandfathers, teachers and brothers.
