EXPLANATION

      In these verses Sanjay is commenting on the unwise policy of Kaurvas of deceiving the Pandavas. And he does here very tactfully here by telling him that warriors from the whole world has been assembled here and Sanjay clearly indicated that the whole kurus dynasty would be killed in that great battle. He also indicated that the whole catastrophe was due to Dhratrashtra as he was always biased towards the policy of his sons. He also indicates that as Lord Krishna is with pandavas the victory will be with them only. That one who takes shelter of Supreme Lord has nothing to fear even in the midst of the greatest enemy.

HARI BOL!
