Arjuna
said: How, Oh Madhusudana, shall l fight with arrows in battle against Bhishma and Drona,
who are fit to be worshipped?Indeed,
in this world it is better to accept alms than to slay the most noble teachers. But if I
kill them, even in this world all my enjoyments of wealth and pleasures will be stained
with blood.
I can hardly tell which will be better: that we should
conquer them or that they should conquer us. The sons of Dhrtarashtra, after slaying those
whom we do not even wish to live, stand facing us.
