Chapter 11 verse 26-27
“I see all the sons of Dhritarashtra, along with their allied kings, including Bheeshma, Dronacharya, Karna, and also the generals from our side, rushing headlong into your fearsome mouths. I see some with their heads smashed between your terrible teeth.”
Since Sri Krishna is the controller of time and space, all realms of time are contained in Him. Past, present and future happenings are evident to Him and now Arjuna gets a glimpse of those happenings. Thus Arjuna sees that all the warriors on both sides are entering his mouth and getting crushed to destruction of this body form. This is a symbolic representation of the merging of the body into His cosmic form and that this body is very temporary. Destruction is a given for anything created in this universe. The permanent aspect is the immutable soul of each being. Earlier in Bhagavat Gita, Krishna goads Arjuna to kill his opponents since they are already dead whether Arjuna kills them or not.
