In this passage, Sanjaya, the main character, is speaking to Dhritarashtra, the king.
All mounted on their shining chariots!
On our side, too,—thou best of Brahmans! see
Excellent chiefs, commanders of my line,
Whose names I joy to count: thyself the first,
Then Bhishma, Karna, Kripa fierce in fight,
Vikarna, Aswatthaman; next to these
Strong Saumadatti, with full many more
Valiant and tried, ready this day to die
–Bhagavad Gita
How does Sanjaya describe the people who are standing with him?
He tells how they are different.
He compares them to one another.
He describes them in sequential order.
He explains what caused them to be there.
