यावदेतान्निरीक्षेऽहं योद्धुकामानवस्थितान्। कैर्मया सह योद्धव्यमस्मिन् रणसमुद्यमे॥
yavadetannirikshe'ham yoddhukaman avasthitan kairmaya saha yoddhavyam asmin ranasamudyame
Translation
So that I may observe those who stand here desiring to fight, with whom I must contend in this great battle.
Commentary
Arjuna wants to assess his opponents before battle begins. Little does he know that seeing his loved ones on the opposing side will trigger a profound spiritual crisis that leads to the Gita's teachings.
