Sanjaya said, Thus addressed by Arjuna, Krishna stationed the best of chariots, O Dhritarashtra, in the midst of the two armies.
A Reading - Rantideb
Krishna placing the chariot between the armies is not just physical positioning; it is the establishment of the neutral space where the Gita's profound dialogue can occur.
