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 :
 

 
'राजन्संप्राप्त 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.
