this is what i understand
krishna ji is telling arjuna that to pass any test in life you need righteousness,patience and courage then Indra dev in Brahmin form comes and says that along with all this opportunity is also needed because without opportunity all these 3 things will be ineffective basically saying that arjuna may have all these things righteousness,patience and courage but all these will be ineffective till karna has his kavach hence he is giving arjuna an opportunity in form of taking away karna's kavach to use these elements effectively
then there is talk about what kind of daan is required in war arjuna says blood so indra dev says even he will be donating blood(although not his own) again indirectly pointing towards karna's kavach daan
then krishna ji says that blood should be donated during the war not before that indicating that he isnt happy with how indra is planning to donate blood
but indra is determined to do it anyways
