Arjuna seeks instruction from the Lord.
अर्जुन उवाच —
कथं भीष्ममहं सङ्ख्ये द्रोणं च मधुसूदन ।
इषुभिः प्रतियोत्स्यामि पूजार्हावरिसूदन ॥ ४ ॥
arjuna uvāca —
kathaṃ bhīṣmamahaṃ saṅkhye droṇaṃ ca madhusūdana .
iṣubhiḥ pratiyotsyāmi pūjārhāvarisūdana .. 4 ..
Arjuna said :
O slayer of Madhu, how shall I assail in battle with arrows Bhīṣma and Droṇa, who are worthy of worship, O slayer of enemies.
