Partha(thesonofPratha,Kunti),beholdalltheseKurus,assembled
here.
Comment:
Lord Krishna, by saying Behold all these Kurus (instead of saying
only Dhartarastran) assembled here had adeep insight. By seeing
all as part of one clan, Arjuna may develop kinship (delusion or
moha) towards them. This kinship may lead to attachment and
make him inquisitive for the Divine message. Thus by making
Arjuna asaninstrument,LordKrishnawantstopreachthegospelof
Gita for destroying Arjunas delusion on the outset and have the
Divine message of Gita serve as a benediction for the creatures of
Kaliage.
