Educational Q&A

The verse underscores the authority and stature of a true ācārya: mastery of sacred knowledge (Veda) and disciplined skill (archery) together earn enduring renown, and a student’s excellence is rooted in such guidance.

A Gandharva addresses Arjuna and identifies Droṇa—Arjuna’s instructor in both Vedic learning and archery—as a celebrated figure known across the three worlds, thereby acknowledging Arjuna’s prestigious lineage of training.
