yotsyamānān-avekṣhe haṁ
ya ete-tra samāgatāḥ
dhārtarāṣṭrasya durbuddhe
yuddhe priya-chikīrṣhavaḥ
Meaning :
"I shall observe the well-wishers of evil-minded Duryodhana assembled and ready to fight, in this war"
Comment :
Arjuna intents to say that the people on the side of evil-minded Duryodhana are equivalent as Duryodhana & he wants to see all of them.
We know that those who are helping the thieves are also considered to be thieves as they all have the same intention, as per law. The same meaning is being used by Arjuna by mentioning them as "well-wishers".
From the last two lines, Arjuna shows his intention to see the enemy and analyze them in order to know in a better manner with whom is to battle. He doesn't have an intention to go for a compromise. The reference as to "evil-minded Duryodhana" shows that Arjuna knew that Duryodhana will do anything possible, even unlawful things, to win over the Pandavas.
