Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 1: Arjuna's Despair

Bhagavad Gita 1.7

अस्माकं तु विशिष्टा ये तान्निबोध द्विजोत्तम । नायका मम सैन्यस्य संज्ञार्थं तान्ब्रवीमि ते ॥

asmākaṃ tu viśiṣṭā ye tānnibodha dvijottama | nāyakā mama sainyasya saṃjñārthaṃ tānbravīmi te ||

Now, best of the twice-born, learn who the most distinguished on our side are. I will name the leaders of my army so that you know them.

Modern context

After praising the opposition, Duryodhana turns to his own side, and calls it 'my army' although it belongs to many. He is speaking mostly to steady himself.
