अर्जुन उवाच — कथं भीष्ममहं सङ्ख्ये द्रोणं च मधुसूदन। इषुभिः प्रतियोत्स्यामि पूजार्हावरिसूदन॥
arjuna uvacha — katham bhishmam aham sankhye dronam cha madhusudana ishubhih pratiyotsyami pujarhav arisudana
Translation
Arjuna said: O Madhusudana, how can I fight with arrows in battle against Bhishma and Drona, who are worthy of my worship, O destroyer of enemies?
Commentary
Arjuna still resists, raising the specific moral dilemma of fighting his grandfather Bhishma and teacher Drona. He cannot reconcile his warrior duty with his reverence for his elders.
