Commentary
Gudakesha, one who has controlled sleep i.e. Arjuna. It implies that once a goal is set by him he will not rest contended till it is achieved. Partha means the son of Prtha (Kunti) i.e. Arjuna. Krishna placed his chariot with sagacity at such a point wherefrom Arjuna could see clearly his kinsman, Bhishma and preceptor, Drona and other kings and warriors of Kaurava side.
As a dutiful driver Krishna told Arjuna `Behold, O Arjuna, all the Kauravas gathered here’. These are the only words spoken by Krishna in the first chapter of the Gita which proved to be a spark to ignite the process of burning down the false perceptions of the mighty Arjuna.
