THE MAHABHARATA
उद्भावनमकुर्वन्तो विदुरस्य मते स्थिताः ॥
And the Pandavas themselves who could
subdue their enemies, knew all this, but
abiding by Vidura's advice, they did not
reveal their awareness.
ततो द्रोणः पाण्डुपुत्रानस्त्राणि विविधानि च ।
ग्राहयामास दिव्यानि मानुषाणि च वीर्यवान् ॥
The valorous Drona then taught the sons
of Pandu (the use of ) manifold missiles,
•
divine and human.
राजपुत्रास्तथा चान्ये समेत्य [भरतर्षभ] ।
अभिजग्मुस्ततो द्रोणमस्त्रार्थे द्विजसत्तमम् ॥
Other princes also approached in large
numbers that best of Brahmins, Drona, for
(learning) the (use of) missiles.
स्पर्धमानस्तु पार्थेन सूतपुत्रोऽत्यमर्षणः ।
अभ्ययात्स ततो द्रोणं धनुर्वेदचिकीर्षया ॥
Vying with Arjuna, Karna, the very irascible
son of the Charioteer (named Adhiratha),
approached Drona then for learning the
science of archery.
