แม้เขาจะมีความรู้เรื่องศัสตราวุธอยู่แล้ว แต่มหาบาลอรชุนยังฝึกให้ถึงความเป็นเลิศในวิธีใช้ที่ถูกต้อง; และในกิจปฏิบัติทั้งปวงก็สอนให้รู้ความแตกต่างอันละเอียด—เพื่อให้ความรู้ประสานกับการกระทำที่ชอบ มิใช่มีแต่การเรียนรู้เท่านั้น।

Educational Q&A

Mere theoretical knowledge of weapons is insufficient; true mastery requires disciplined practice, correct application, and attention to subtle distinctions—so power is guided by trained competence.

The narrator states that Arjuna, described as mighty, gave someone special instruction: not only in the knowledge of weapons but also in their effective use and in all related practical actions, emphasizing refined, detailed training.
