اے راجا! تھوڑے ہی عرصے میں کورو سبھی ہتھیاروں اور جنگی فنون میں پوری طرح ماہر ہو گئے؛ اور بے اندازہ قوت و شوکت والے پانڈو بھی اسی طرح کامل مہارت کو پہنچ گئے۔
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
Mastery of power (here, weapons and martial knowledge) can be gained quickly through disciplined training, but such capability increases moral responsibility; later actions in war and governance become ethically consequential because the agents are fully competent.
Vaiśampāyana reports to the king that both rival groups—the Kauravas and the Pāṇḍavas—soon became highly proficient in all forms of weaponry and martial arts, setting the stage for their future rivalry and the burdens of kṣatriya duty.
