Already slain by Me Therefore. O Arjuna you need not be afraid of incurring sin by killing them. Drona had celestial weapons. He was Arjunas teacher in the science of archery. He was Arjunas beloved and greatest Guru. Bhishma also possessed celetial weapons. He could die only if and when he wanted to die. He once faught singlehanded with Lord Parasurama and was not defeated. So powerful was he. The father of Jayadratha performed penance with a resolve the head of the man who may cause the head of my son to fall on the ground shall also fall. During the war however. Arjunas arrow cuts the head and drops it on the lap of the father who inadvertently makes it fall on the ground he too dies at once. Karna the son of the Sungod had obtained an unerring missile from Indra.
द्रोणम् Drona च and भीष्मम् Bhishma च and जयद्रथम् Jayadratha च and कर्णम् Karna तथा also अन्यान् others अपि also योधवीरान् brave warriors मया by Me हतान् slain त्वम् thou जहि do kill मा not व्यथिष्ठाः be distressed with fear युध्यस्व fight जेतासि shall coner रणे in the battle सपत्नान् the enemies.
