Here Arjuna cares about a weapon for his friend as well. It is significant that he asks for a worthy weapon for Krishna too: the devotee cares for the Lord no less than for himself. Here is a love that places the friend's good on a level with one's own. The scripture shows here Arjuna's care for Krishna; and the request for wondrous gifts extends to both of them.
