Commentary

Be thou merely an apparent or nominal cause. I have already killed them in advance. I have destroyed them long ago. Fame People will think that Bhishma? Drona and the other great warriors whom even the gods cannot kill have been defeated by you and so you will obtain great fame. Such fame is due to virtuous Karma only. Satrun Enemies such as Duryodhana. Savyasachi Arjuna who could shoot arrows even with the left hand.
