धृतराष्ट्र–दुर्योधन संवादः
Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue
ततो द्रोणो वृत: शिष्यैरुपगम्य भगूद्धहम् । आचर्ख्यावात्मनो नाम जन्म चाजड्डिरस: कुले,तत्पश्चात् शिष्योंसहित द्रोणने भृगुश्रेष्ठ परशुरामजीके समीप जाकर अपना नाम बताया और यह भी कहा कि “मेरा जन्म आंगिरस कुलमें हुआ है'
tato droṇo vṛtaḥ śiṣyair upagamya bhṛgūdvaham | ācakhyāv ātmano nāma janma cāṅgirasaḥ kule ||
そのときドローナは弟子たちに囲まれ、ブリグ族の最勝者たるパラシュラーマのもとへ進み出た。彼は自らの名を名乗り、さらに「我はアンギラスの系に生まれし者」と血統を告げ、尊師に近づくにふさわしい恭敬の作法に則って正式に自己を紹介した。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights proper conduct when approaching a revered teacher: one should come respectfully (often with companions/disciples), and clearly state one’s name and lineage. This reflects the Mahābhārata’s emphasis on ācāra (right etiquette) as part of dharma, especially in the guru–śiṣya context.
Droṇa, accompanied by his disciples, goes to Paraśurāma—celebrated as the foremost of the Bhṛgu lineage—and formally introduces himself by giving his name and stating that he is of the Āṅgirasa line. This sets the stage for seeking instruction/association with the renowned master.
