Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 11: The Vision of the Cosmic Form

Bhagavad Gita 11.26

amī ca tvāṃ dhṛtarāṣṭrasya putrāḥ sarve sahaivāvanipālasaṅghaiḥ | bhīṣmo droṇaḥ sūtaputrastathāsau sahāsmadīyairapi yodhamukhyaiḥ ||

All those sons of Dhritarashtra, together with the hosts of kings, and Bhishma, Drona, and Karna, the charioteer's son, along with our own chief warriors,

Modern context

Now the vision turns to this very field. Arjuna sees the sons of Dhritarashtra, Bhishma, Drona, Karna, and warriors from his own side as well. The cosmic suddenly becomes personal. Here are faces he knows. Whatever we learn in the abstract, the hardest moment is when it touches the particular people we love and fear.
