Chapter-11 Viśvarūpa Darśana Yogaḥ

droṇaṃ ca bhīṣmaṃ ca jayadrathaṃ ca karṇaṃ tathā’nyānapi yodhavīrān | mayā hatāṃs-tvaṃ jahi mā vyathiṣṭhā yudhyasva jetāsi raṇe sapatnān || 34 || 34. Slay Drona, Bhīṣma, Jayadratha, Karṇa as well as other mighty warriors, who have been destroyed by Me. Do not vacillate, fight! You shall surely conquer your opponents in the battle. Commentary “Kill Drona, Bhīṣma, Karṇa etc., who have already been singled out for destruction by Me alone, for they have transgressed the law of righteousness. Be not be unsettled by considering; ‘How can I slay these teachers, relations and others who are attached to enjoyment?’ Don’t be thus distressed by thinking about the right and wrong of it, or expressing love and compassion for them. These persons are guilty of unrighteousness by siding with the evil-minded Duryodhana. They have been judged and condemned by Me alone. Therefore fight without hesitation, and you shall conquer your enemies in battle. In slaying them, there is not the slightest trace of rancor.” The purport is that victory is the certain result.
