Chapter 11 verse 34
“Dronacharya, Bheeshma, Jayadratha, Karna, and other brave warriors have already been killed by me. So slay them without being disturbed. Just fight and you will be victorious over your enemies in battle.”
What more does a person want that the Supreme Being Himself is providing highest life insurance policy to Arjuna. He is stating in unequivocal terms that the result of this war is going to be in Arjuna’s favor and all his enemies will be killed even though the odds of their death was very low to begin with. Since they were all bestowed with great valor, power and blessings by various celestial gods, it would have been difficult to vanquish them in any battle until the Kurushetra war where the tables were turned due to the presence of the Divine on Arjuna and pandava’s side. Where there is dharma, there is victory! To his credit, Arjuna was never afraid of going to war and that he will be killed or defeated, he was just not sure the utility of this war and killing of his own relatives and friends. What will be Arjuna’s response to this?
