धृतराष्ट्र–दुर्योधन संवादः
Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue
ततः समभवद् द्रोण: कलशे तस्य धीमत: । अध्यगीष्ट स वेदांश्न॒ वेदाड़ानि च सर्वश:
tataḥ samabhavad droṇaḥ kalaśe tasya dhīmataḥ | adhyagīṣṭa sa vedāṁś ca vedāṅgāni ca sarvaśaḥ ||
ನಂತರ ಆ ಜ್ಞಾನಿಯಾದ ಋಷಿಯ ಕಲಶದಿಂದ ಒಬ್ಬ ಪುತ್ರನು ಜನ್ಮವಾಯಿತು. ದ್ರೋಣದಿಂದ ಜನಿಸಿದ ಕಾರಣ ಅವನು ‘ದ್ರೋಣ’ ಎಂಬ ಹೆಸರಿನಿಂದ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧನಾದನು. ಅವನು ಸಮಸ್ತ ವೇದಗಳನ್ನೂ ಹಾಗೂ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವೇದಾಂಗಗಳನ್ನೂ ಅಧ್ಯಯನ ಮಾಡಿದನು.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse links birth, naming, and identity to a moral-educational ideal: true stature is established through disciplined study and mastery of sacred knowledge (Vedas and Vedāṅgas), which traditionally underpins dharma and social responsibility.
Vaiśampāyana narrates Droṇa’s extraordinary birth from a vessel associated with a wise sage, explains how this origin gives him his name, and notes his comprehensive education in the Vedas and their auxiliary sciences.
