Drona, Bhishma, Jayadratha, Karna and other brave warriors these are already slain by Me: do thou kill; be not distressed with fear; fight and thou shalt coner thy enemies in battle.

Drona and Bhishma, Jayadratha and Karna, and the other brave warriors as well, are already slain by me. Slay them; do not be troubled. Fight, and you will defeat your rivals in battle.

Krishna names the very warriors Arjuna most feared to face: Drona his teacher, Bhishma his grandsire, Jayadratha, an ally of the Kauravas, and Karna, his great rival. All of them, Krishna says, are already slain by him. Arjuna is told not to be distressed and assured of victory. The naming of Drona and Bhishma answers Arjuna's objection from the beginning of the dialogue, when he asked how he could aim arrows at those who deserve worship. The vision has shown that their fate is part of a larger order. Krishna now asks Arjuna to act within it.
