Explanation
There Arjuna saw standing fathers and grandfathers, teachers, maternal uncles, brothers, sons, grandsons and friends.
The list moves from abstract 'enemy' to actual people. 'Fathers' includes uncles and elders of his father's generation; 'grandfathers' means Bhishma and others; 'teachers' are Drona and Kripa; 'brothers' are the Kaurava cousins; 'sons' and 'grandsons' are their children. Arjuna is not facing strangers but the web of his whole life.
