Vaiśampāyana uvāca | catuṣpādaṃ daśavidhaṃ dhanurvedaṃ ariṃdamaḥ | arjunād veda vedajñaḥ sakalaṃ divyamānuṣam ||
Disse Vaiśampāyana: O subjugador de inimigos, versado no saber sagrado, aprendeu com Arjuna a Dhanurveda—ciência do arco—completa em suas quatro divisões e dez componentes, abrangendo toda a arte das armas, tanto divina quanto humana.

Educational Q&A
Martial power should be grounded in disciplined learning and rightful transmission: comprehensive training (fourfold and tenfold structure) and guidance from a qualified teacher ensure that warfare-knowledge serves dharma rather than mere aggression.
Vaiśampāyana reports that a foe-subduing figure learned the complete Dhanurveda from Arjuna, mastering both divine and human aspects of weapon-science, indicating a formal and thorough education in warfare.
