द्रोणोपदेशान् विविधान् दर्शयानो महामना: । ववर्ष शरवर्षाणि चित्र लघु च सुष्ठ च
droṇopadeśān vividhān darśayāno mahāmanāḥ | vavarṣa śaravarṣāṇi citra-laghu ca suṣṭhu ca ||
संजय म्हणाला—द्रोणाचार्यांकडून मिळालेल्या नानाविध युद्धोपदेशांचे कर्माने दर्शन घडवीत त्या महामन्य योद्ध्याने चित्रविचित्र, वेगवान व अत्यंत सुबक अशी बाणांची वर्षा केली।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical weight of disciplined training: knowledge received from a teacher (Droṇa) is validated by controlled, excellent execution. Even in war, mastery is portrayed as the fruit of instruction, practice, and adherence to one’s kṣatriya craft.
Sañjaya describes a great warrior demonstrating the diverse techniques learned from Droṇa by unleashing a rapid, well-aimed, and varied barrage of arrows on the battlefield.
