Sanskrit - The Mahabharata

Sanskrit not only has a singular and plural, but it also has a dual. When this verse refers to Krishna and Arjuna standing, it uses a dual number. This is real typical of the style of the Mahabharata. They give so much detail. If you're standing in a grove of trees, they will tell you what kind of trees there are. All these details are given. That's how theMahabharata grows to be 84,000 verses in length.
