द्रोणं च भीष्मं च जयद्रथं च कर्णं तथान्यानपि योधवीरान् । मया हतांस्त्वं जहि मा व्यथिष्ठा युध्यस्व जेतासि रणे सपत्नान् ॥ ३४ ॥
droṇaṁ cha bhīṣhmaṁ cha jayadrathaṁ cha karṇaṁ tathānyān api yodha-vīrān mayā hatāṁs tvaṁ jahi mā vyathiṣhṭhā yudhyasva jetāsi raṇe sapatnān
Translation
Drona and Bhishma, Jayadratha and Karna, and the other great warriors are already slain by Me. Kill them, do not be troubled. Fight, and you will defeat your rivals in battle.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
द्रोण, भीष्म, जयद्रथ, कर्ण तथा अन्य वीर योद्धा भी मेरे द्वारा पहले ही मारे जा चुके हैं। तुम उन्हें मारो, व्यथित मत हो। युद्ध करो, तुम रण में शत्रुओं को जीतोगे।
Commentary
Krishna names the very warriors Arjun feared most: his teacher Drona, his grandsire Bhishma, and Jayadratha and Karna, both protected by boons. "Ma vyathishtha," "do not be troubled," speaks directly to the grief of chapter 1. The vision has answered with an experience what argument alone could not.
