Kalmāṣapāda’s Encounter with Śakti and the Escalation of the Vasiṣṭha–Viśvāmitra Feud (कल्माषपाद–शक्ति प्रसङ्गः)
ततः समभवद् द्रोण: कुमारस्तस्य धीमत:ः । अध्यगीष्ट स वेदांश्ष वेदाड़ानि च सर्वश:,उसीसे बुद्धिमान् भरद्वाजजीके द्रोण नामक पुत्र हुआ। उसने सम्पूर्ण वेदों और वेदांगोंका भी अध्ययन कर लिया
tataḥ samabhavad droṇaḥ kumāras tasya dhīmataḥ | adhyagīṣṭa sa vedāṁś ca vedāṅgāni ca sarvaśaḥ ||
তাৰ পিছত সেই ধীমান ভৰদ্বাজৰ ঘৰত দ্ৰোণ নামে এক পুত্ৰ জন্মিল। সি সমগ্ৰ বেদ আৰু সকলো বেদাঙ্গো সম্পূৰ্ণৰূপে অধ্যয়ন কৰিলে।

The speaker states that the sage Bharadvāja had a son named Droṇa, and that Droṇa studied the Vedas and all the Vedāṅgas thoroughly, establishing his scholarly credentials early in the story.
