संजय उवाच--
एवमुक्तो ह्रषीकेशो गुडाकेशेन भारत ।
सेनयोरुभयोर्मद्धे स्थापयित्वा रथोत्तमम् ।। १.२४ ।।
भीष्म-द्रोण प्रमुखत: सर्वेषां च महीक्षिताम् ।
उवाच पार्थ पश्यैतान्‌ समवेतान्‌ कुरूनिति ।। १.२५ ।।

Sañjaya uvāca
Evamukto hṛṣīkeśo guḍākeśena bhārata ।
senayor ubhayor maddhye sthāpayitvā rath'ottamam ।। 1.24 ।।
Bhiṣma-Droṇa pramukhataḥ sarveṣāṁ ca mahī-kṣitām ।
uvāca partha pśy'aitān samavetān kurūn iti ।। 1.25 ।।

     

 Sanjaya said:
Spoken to like this by Arjuna, the conqueror
of sleep, Krishna, the controller of senses, after
stationing the chariot between the two armies,
particularly in front of Bheeshma and Drona
and all the rulers of earth, said: O Arjuna, see
well the Kuru descendants assembled here.

Note: Great ones have greater humility. How humbly and
obediently does Krishna obey the Lord of his chariot!
But the greater truth is even more obvious. If a seeker
advances one step towards his goal, his Teacher would
move by two steps to favour and grace him. This is the
subtle law of divinity. See where and how Krishna
stationed the chariot, and said what?
He wanted Arjuna to examine his own self to find whether
he was equipped to fight the war, or he had fateful gap to
fill in himself!
