द्रोण (droṇa) [Printed book page 263-1]
Droṇa,¹ the preceptor of the Dhārtarāṣṭras and the Pāṇḍavas,

Dhṛṣṭadyumna, etc., son of Bharadvāja, husband of Kṛpī, and

father of Aśvatthāman. § 4 (Anukram.): I, 1, 138, †186,

†194, †196, †199 (Ācāryaṃ), †201.—§ 9 (Parvasaṅgr.): I,

2, 300.—§ 11 (do.): I, 2, 537.—§ 83 (Ādivaṃśāvatāraṇa):

I, 63, 2436 (father of Aśvatthāman), 2438 (Dhṛṣṭadyumna

was born for the destruction of D.).—§ 130 (Aṃśāvat.): I,

67, 2705 (Bhāradvājaṃ, born from a portion of Bṛhaspati),

2707 (Dhanurvede Vede ca yaṃ taṃ Vedavido viduḥ variṣṭhaṃ).

—§ 199 (Sambhavap.): Bhīṣma prevailed upon D. to accept

the Pāṇḍavas and the Kauravas as his pupils in the Dhanurveda:

I, 130, 5096 (Bhāradvājāya).—§ 200 (do.): Janamejaya said:

“Tell me about the birth of Droṇa and of his son Aśvatthāman.”

Vaiśampāyana said: The ṛṣi Bharadvāja who dwelt at

Gaṅgādvāra one day saw the Apsaras Ghṛtācī coming from

her bath; then his seed came out, but was preserved by him

in a vessel (droṇa); from that seed sprang D., who studied

the Vedas and the Vedāṅgas. Bharadvāja had taught Agniveśa

the use of the Āgneya weapon, and the muni who had sprung

from Fire (i.e. Agniveśa) now taught it to D.: I, 130, 5100,

5106.—§ 201 (do.): D. was a friend of Drupada (q.v.).

Droṇa remained in the hermitage of his father and practised

austerities. With Kṛpī Śāradvatī he had the son Aśvatthāman

(b). D. studied the Dhanurveda. About this time Rāma

Jāmadagnya desired to distribute his wealth among the

brahmans, and Droṇa (of the race of Aṅgiras, v. 5122) with

his disciples set out for the mountain Mahendra to have his

share in the wealth and learn from Rāma the Dhanurveda,

the use of celestial weapons, and the nītiśāstra. When he

arrived, Rāma had already given his wealth to the brahmans

and the earth to Kaśyapa; he then asked D. to choose either

his body or his weapons. Droṇa accepted the weapons and

the Dhanurveda, and then repaired to Drupada: I, 130,

5110, 5114, 5122, 5124, 5130, (5131).—§ 202 (do.): As

Drupada rebuked him for calling him his friend, D., filled

with wrath, went to Hāstinapura, where he for some time

lived privately in the house of Kṛpa (his brother-in-law),

while Aśvatthāman, being unknown, taught the Pārthas (i.e.

the Pāṇḍavas) the use of arms. One day, when D. had by

means of blades of grass, which were consecrated by mantras,

recovered a ball which the princes had lost in a well, and, by

means of an arrow, his ring which he had thrown into the

well, he was called to Bhīṣma, whom he told that he had

applied to Drupada in order to obtain milk for Aśvatthāman (b),

but had been rebuked by him. Bhīṣma asked D. to make

the princes accomplished in arms: I, 131, 5136, 5155, 5158,

(5160), 5162, 5164, 5167, (5168), 5170, 5171, (5172), 5177,

5188.—§ 203 (do.): Bhīṣma presented D. with a pretty house,

etc., and gave the Dhārtarāṣṭras and the Pāṇḍavas to him as

his pupils. Arjuna (b) became the foremost of D.'s pupils,

even superior to Aśvatthāman (c). Also the Vṛṣṇis and the

Andhakas and princes from various countries became his

Page263-b+ 63

pupils. Even Karṇa came to learn the Dhanurveda; he

supported by Duryodhana, frequently defied Arjuna: I, 132

5211, 5214, (5216), 5219, 5220, 5223, 5225, 5228, 5230

5231, 5236, (5237), 5238, 5239.—§ 204 (Ekalavya): I

132, 5241, 5243, 5246, 5255 (°śiṣyaṃ, i.e. Ekalavya), 5256

5260, 5262, 5263, 5264, 5266, 5269 (D. asked the thumb

of the right hand of Ekalavya as his tutorial fee, in order

that Ekalavya might not surpass the Pāṇḍavas).—§ 205

(Sambhavap.): The foremost pupils of Droṇa were Duryodhana,

Bhīmasena, Aśvatthāman (b), Nakula (c) and Sahadeva (c),

Yudhiṣṭhira (d), and Arjuna (e). The Dhārtarāṣṭras became

very jealous of Bhīma and Arjuna: I, 132, 5270.—§ 206

(do.): One day D. caused an artificial bird to be placed on

the top of a tree, and first repeatedly asked Yudhiṣṭhira,

when he stood aiming at the bird, what he did see. He

answered that he saw the tree, D., his brothers, and the bird.

D. reproachingly told him to stand apart. Then D. repeated

the experiment with his other pupils with the same result

(I, 132). At last Arjuna's turn came; he said first that he

saw only the vulture, and then that he saw only its head,

and when D. gave the order he struck off the head of the

bird with his shaft: I, 132, 5276, (5278), 5282, (5284),

5286; 133, 5289, 5292, 5293, 5294, 5296.—§ 207 (do.):

Arjuna rescued the life of D. by shooting with five arrows

an alligator in the Gaṅgā, which had seized the thigh of D.

D. gave Arjuna the weapon Brahmaśiras on condition that

he should not use it against a human foe, as it might consume

the whole universe (I, 133): I, 133, 5300, 5303.—§ 208

(Astradarśana): I, 134, 5312; 135, (5350), 5352, 5376;

136, 5384, 5390, 5399; 137, 5433, 5439 (the disciples of

D. displayed their prowess in the use of arms).—§ 209

(Drupadaśāsana): I, 138, 5445, 5447, 5454, 5466, 5502,

5503, 5511, 5513, 5515, 5516 (assisted by his pupils,

D. vanquished Drupada, but restored the half of his kingdom

to him, and thenceforth he himself ruled the other half,

residing in Ahicchatra).—§ 210c (Arjuna): I, 139, 5523,

5524, 5529, 5533 (D. had obtained the Brahmaśiras from

Agniveśa and given it to Arjuna (cf. § 207); Arjuna promised

to fight with D. [in the great battle]).—§ 213 (Jatugṛhap.):

I, 142, 5688, 5691, 5692; 143, 5707; 145, 5735; 150,

of Drupada's kingdom, cf. §§ 200—9).—§ 218 (Draupadī-
