Educational Q&A
Even in the harshness of war, dharma includes gratitude and reverence toward one’s teacher; Arjuna balances respect (pradakṣiṇā to Droṇa) with his kṣatriya obligation to continue fighting.
Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna circumambulates Droṇa respectfully and then withdraws, turning and advancing while shooting arrows—signaling both deference to his guru and continued engagement in the battle.
