1.25 Look at these Kurus Sanjaya speaks
भीष्मद्रोणप्रमुखतः सर्वेषां च महीक्षिताम्
उवाच पार्थ पश्यैतान्समवेतान्कुरूनिति
bhīṣhma-droṇa-pramukhataḥ sarveṣhāṁ cha mahī-kṣhitām
uvācha pārtha paśhyaitān samavetān kurūn iti
in full view of Bhishma and Drona and all the kings of the earth, and said: Son of Pritha, look at these Kurus gathered here.
Explanation
In full view of everyone, and then four words.
Before Bhishma, Drona and all the kings of the earth: look at these Kurus gathered here.
Krishna's only line in the chapter. He does not say look at the enemy. He names them by the family both sides belong to, and then says nothing else for a chapter and a half.
