Ādi-parva Adhyāya 132 — Duryodhana’s Instructions to Purocana at Vāraṇāvata
Lākṣāgṛha Planning
ततोअ्र्जुन: प्रीतमना बभूव विगतज्वर: । द्रोणश्न॒ सत्यवागासीन्नान्योडभिभवितार्जुनम्,इस घटनासे अर्जुनके मनमें बड़ी प्रसन्नता हुई। उनकी भारी चिन्ता दूर हो गयी। द्रोणाचार्यका भी वह कथन सत्य हो गया कि अर्जुनको दूसरा कोई पराजित नहीं कर सकता
tato 'rjunaḥ prītamanā babhūva vigatajvaraḥ | droṇaś ca satyavāg āsīn nānyo 'bhivavitārjunam ||
Then Arjuna became glad at heart, his feverish anxiety dispelled. And Droṇa’s earlier declaration proved true: no other person could overcome Arjuna. The verse underscores how a teacher’s discerning confidence, when matched by a disciple’s disciplined effort, removes inner turmoil and establishes steadfastness in the face of rivalry.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
A competent teacher’s truthful assessment (satya) and a disciple’s cultivated excellence together dispel inner agitation (jvara) and establish firm confidence; ethical strength here is shown as steadiness and mastery rather than mere pride.
After the preceding event, Arjuna feels deep satisfaction and his worry subsides; simultaneously, Droṇa’s earlier claim is validated—no one else is able to defeat Arjuna.
