Sloka 1:23
Gist of the sloka:
Arjuna says I wish to view those foolish people who have come to fight on behalf of Duryodhana and trying to please him.
Explanation:
Arjuna in an egoistic manner, wishes to view those people who have assembled wishing well to the evil Duryodhana. Again, the tone of the words is like a directive to a charioteer; clearly indicative that his ego has overtaken his respect for the Lord.
