How will I fight in the battle against bhIshma (the grand-sire), dhrONa (the teacher) who are worthy of worship?<\/p>\n Arjuna not appreciating the wise counselling of Bhagav\u0101n, because he was still agitated with sentiments of friendship and pity, and with dread of what may be right and what may be wrong, again delivered himself thus:-<\/span><\/p>\n ‘Madhus\u016bdana[2. The 74th name of God…]! How can I, with darts, fight against Bh\u012bshma and Dro\u1e47a[3. Both are preceptors of P\u0101n\u1e0davas and Kauravas. Bh\u012bshma is the son of \u015aantanu (See Geneal Tree at end of Chapter 1) and is a Kshatriya. He is called Bh\u012bshma or “the Dreadful” because of his vow in abdicating the kingdom of his father in favor of a step-mother’s sons. He is one of the leading characters of the Mah\u0101bh\u0101rata, a model of faithfulness and loyalty. In the great war he became the generalissimo of the Kaurava army. He was mortally wounded by Arjuna on the 10th day. Dro\u1e47a is a Br\u0101hma\u1e47a by birth, the son of Rishi Bharadv\u0101ja. After his leaving the court of P\u0101\u00f1ch\u0101\u1e37a in disgust, he was entrusted by Bh\u012bshma with the education of the five P\u0101\u1e47dus and the hundred young Kuru princes. He assumed command of the Kuru army after Bh\u012bshm\u0101’s disablement.]?
