Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Visnuswami
Sridhara Swami's Commentary

But what was it Arjuna desired to see? He desired to see those of the opposing army gathered there desirous of doing what was agreeable to Duryodhana, this is the construction.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Nimbaditya
Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary

It could be asked of Arjuna, doesn't he already know the worth of his opponents on the battlefield? Certainly Arjuna is fully cognizant of the worthiness of Bhishma and Drona as case in point as well as so many others. But in this verse this objection would be clarified by Arjuna's reply that he wishes to see all those who are favouring the evil minded Duryodhana, the son of Dhritarastra.

Thus ends commentaries of chapter 1, verse 23 of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
