サञ्जयは言った。「あらゆる学知は師（ドローナ）に一つに集まっている。だがパーンドゥの子（アルジュナ）には、学知に加えて、規律あるヨーガの熟達がある。同じく、あらゆる武勇は師に凝縮しているが、アルジュナには武勇と力とが併せ備わっている。」

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Excellence is not only the possession of a single supreme quality (as in the preceptor’s concentrated learning and valor) but also the integration of complementary powers—knowledge joined with yoga (disciplined mastery) and valor joined with strength—making capability more complete in action.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya, narrating the battle to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, contrasts Droṇa’s concentrated mastery with Arjuna’s combined qualities, highlighting why Arjuna can match or surpass even a legendary teacher in the unfolding combat of Droṇa Parva.
