Vāraṇāvata-vivāsana-nīti: Dhṛtarāṣṭra and Duryodhana’s Policy Dialogue

भरद्वाजो5पि भगवानारुरोह दिवं तदा । तत्रैव च वसन्‌ द्रोणस्तपस्तेपे महातपा:,कुछ दिनों बाद भगवान्‌ भरद्वाज भी स्वर्गवासी हो गये और महातपस्वी द्रोण उसी आश्रममें रहकर तपस्या करने लगे

bharadvājo ’pi bhagavān āruroha divaṃ tadā | tatraiva ca vasan droṇas tapas tepe mahātapāḥ ||

వైశంపాయనుడు పలికెను—అప్పుడు భగవాన్ భారద్వాజుడును స్వర్గానికి ఆరూఢుడయ్యెను. అదే ఆశ్రమంలో నివసిస్తూ మహాతపస్వి ద్రోణుడు తపస్సు ఆచరించెను.

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights the ideal of steadfast tapas: even after the departure of an elder (Bharadvāja), the disciple (Droṇa) maintains disciplined spiritual practice in the same sacred environment, reflecting continuity of dharma and self-restraint.

Bharadvāja passes on—described as ascending to heaven—while Droṇa remains in the hermitage and continues performing austerities, marking a transition from the father’s presence to the son’s independent ascetic life.
