The verse says

And all these sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, with the crowds of kings, and Bhīṣma and Droṇa and Karṇa, along with the chief warriors on our side too —

In plain words

The vision stops being general and becomes specific.

These are not gods and demons. These are his cousins, his teacher, and the old man who raised him.

And the last clause is the one that cuts: asmadīyair api — ours too. Not only the other side.

Where you've felt this · at work

You are looking at a photograph from a works outing years ago and you start picking people out. Then you realise you are not looking at a group photograph any more. You are going along the row working out who is still at the company, and you did not decide to start doing that.

Going deeper

The moment a general vision becomes a particular list of names is the moment it stops being bearable.

Until now Arjuna has been describing cosmic hosts, which are frightening in the way weather is frightening. Here he sees individuals he has known his whole life. Bhīṣma, who raised him. Droṇa, who taught him to shoot. Karṇa. And then, immediately, people on his own side.

That last detail is what makes this honest rather than triumphalist. Whatever he is watching is not happening only to his enemies.

It is also the hinge back to the book's first chapter. He broke down there because he looked at the two armies and saw relatives instead of opponents. He is being shown the same sight again, from a position where he cannot look away, and the next verses tell him what is going to happen to all of them.
