Bhagavad Gita 1-26

Tatraapashyat sthitaan paarthaHa pitRoonatha pitaamahaan

Aachaaryaanmaatulaan bhratRoon putraan putraan sakhIMstathaa

Shwashuraan suhRudashchaiva sEnayOrubhayOrapi || 26 ||

Partha saw his fathers (meaning brothers and cousins of his father), grand fathers, teachers, maternal uncles, brothers, children (meaning includes children of his brothers and cousins), grand children, friends, relatives and his well wishers in both the armies.

Partha saw all his relatives, friends, teachers and well wishers in the army. It was a war where generations of his grandfather to that of his grand children were involved - that is five generations. And they had assembled to fight against each other.
