Translator:
Arjuna said, "O Krishna, place my chariot in the middle between the two armies, so that I may behold those who stand here, desirous to fight, and know with whom I must fight when the battle is about to commence."

A Reading - Rantideb

Arjuna's request to place his chariot between the two armies is a request for perspective. Before acting, he seeks a comprehensive view of the system he is about to disrupt.
