Hearing Arjuna's request, Krishna drew up his magnificent chariot between the two armies. In the presence of Bhishma, Drona, and all the other kings, Krishna said "behold, the Kuru dynasty has gathered". As Arjuna gazed over both armies, he saw his fathers, grandfathers, teachers, uncles, brothers, sons, grandsons, fathers-in-law, and friends. Upon realizing how many of his relatives and friends were assembled there, he spoke his next words to Krishna with deep sorrow and compassion.
