सर्वेषामेव शिष्याणां बभूवाभ्यधिकोऽर्जुनः ।
अर्जुनः परमं यत्नमातिष्ठद्गुरुपूजने ।
अस्त्रे च परमं योगम्, आह चैनं पुनर्गुरुः ।
'भविता त्वत्समो नान्यः पुमान् लोके धनुर्धरः ॥
Arjuna was far superior to all other
pupils; he took the greatest effort in
the service of his preceptor and had the
utmost concentration on the practising of the
missiles. And his teacher told him again :
"There shall be no archer equal to you in
the world."
 
ADI PARVA
 
कृतास्त्रान् धार्तराष्ट्रांश्च पाण्डुपुत्रांश्च [भारत] ।
दृष्ट्वा द्रोणोऽब्रवीद् [राजन् ] धृतराष्ट्रं जनेश्वरम् ॥
Seeing the sons of Dhritarashtra and
the sons of Pandu trained well in missiles,
Drona told king Dhritarashtra :
 
'राजन्सप्राप्त विद्यास्ते कुमाराः कुरुसत्तम ।
ते दर्शयेयुस्स्वां शिक्षां [राजन्] अनुमते तव ॥
King, your sons have become fully
educated ; O best of the Kurus ! with your
permission, they would exhibit what they
have learnt.
