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).—§ 210 c (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.
