Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Esteem granted by a respected authority (ācārya) should be received as a charge of responsibility, not as fuel for vanity—especially in the moral pressure of war.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya reports that Droṇa (the wise Bhāradvāja-descendant) regards him as important in the battle context; Sañjaya acknowledges both the honor shown to him and the teacher’s statement.
