Bhagavad Gita 1.2

Seeing the Pandava army arranged for battle, Duryodhana goes to his teacher Drona to speak.

दृष्ट्वा तु पाण्डवानीकं व्यूढं दुर्योधनस्तदा।
आचार्यमुपसङ्गम्य राजा वचनमब्रवीत्॥

dṛṣṭvā tu pāṇḍavānīkaṃ vyūḍhaṃ duryodhanastadā
ācāryamupasaṅgamya rājā vacanamabravīt

Translation

Sanjaya said: Seeing the army of the Pandavas drawn up in battle order, King Duryodhana then went to his teacher and spoke these words.

Hindi

संजय बोले: पाण्डवों की व्यूह-रचना में खड़ी सेना को देखकर राजा दुर्योधन तब आचार्य के पास गया और यह वचन बोला।

Commentary

Sanjaya now takes over as narrator, and from here to the end of the Gita his voice carries the story. Duryodhana, seeing the Pandava army in formation, goes not to his commander Bhishma but to Drona, the teacher of both the Kauravas and the Pandavas.
