अथ व्यवस्थितान् दृष्ट्वा धार्तराष्ट्रान्कपिध्वजः।
प्रवृत्ते शस्त्रसंपाते धनुरुद्यम्य पाण्डवः।।
अर्जुन बोले
हृषीकेशं तदा वाक्यमिदमाह महीपते।
सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये रथं स्थापय मेऽच्युत ।।
यावदेतान्निरीक्षेऽहं योद्धुकामानवस्थितान्।
कैर्मया सह योद्धव्यमस्मिन्रणसमुद्यमे।।
योत्स्यमानानवेक्षेऽहं य एतेऽत्र समागताः।
धार्तराष्ट्रस्य दुर्बुद्धेर्युद्धे प्रियचिकीर्षवः।।
प्रवृत्ते शस्त्रसंपाते धनुरुद्यम्य पाण्डवः।।

Meaning Thereupon ,Arjun,the seated warrior on the chariot was flagmarked with Hanuman, preparing to raise his bow to release his arrows. Glancing upon the sons of Dhritrastra ,Arjun thus spoke to Krishna” :
Arjun said:“O Hrishikesa!’, INFALLIBLE! Pl. draw my chariot between the two armies so that I may see those present there and I am about to deal and contest with them in the great trial of armoury”(21 &22)
“Let me witness those assembled here to fight with me and have a great urge to please ,the evil minded son of Dhritrastra”(23) ExplanationHere, at the same time Arjun is also displaying his warrior qualities to analyse the opposition and have a microscopic look on the identity of the enemy and military formation at the same time.

So somewhere, Arjun was a great fighter and the greatest archer of the all time ,displayed the strength of the mind by keeping his cool to comprehend the real intentions of so called friends,who were party to the scheme of Duryodhan to usurp the territory of Pandavs for their selfish benefits.

If we see the other end of viewpoint, good friends need to guide for a fruitful and successful life ,lived with honesty ,based on good morals inspire their friends to devote their attention to welfare and harmony . So Arjun wished to see each and every culprit present on the side of Dhrishratra sons. So please o infallible! ,show me their faces and intentions along with their prepration and military formation for war against Pandavs.
