Śaṅkarācārya's commentary

Fame: that Bhīṣma and other atirathas (great warriors) arrayed in the hostile army, unconquerable even to Devas, have been defeated by Arjuna. Such a fame is the result only of good karma. Enemies: such as Duryodhana. Savyasācin: Arjuna who could shoot arrows even with the left hand.
