Droṇa, 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, †199 (*Ācāryam*), †201.—§ 9 (Parvasaṅgr.): I, 2, 300.—§ 11 (do.): I, 2, 537.—§ 83 (Ādivamśāvatāraṇa): I, 63, 2436 (father of Aśvatthāman), 2438 (Dhṛṣṭadyumna was born for the destruction of D.).—§ 130 (Amśāvat.): I, 67, 2705 (*Bhāradvājam*, born from a portion of Bṛhaspati), 2707 (*Dhanurvede Vede ca yaṃ tam Vedavido viduḥ variṣṭham*).—§ 199 (Sambhavap.): *Bhīṣma* prevailed upon D. to accept the Pāṇḍavas and the Kauravas as his pupils in the *Dhanurveda*: I, 130, 5096 (*Bhāradvāja*).—§ 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* *Śaradvatī* he had the son *Aśvatthāman* (b). D. studied the *Dhanurveda*.
c5.s3.434.2
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.
c5.s3.434.3
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 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, (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 *Brahmaciras* 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 (Drupadaśana): 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 *Brahmaciras* 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, 5785; 150, 5860.—§ 216 (Caitrarathap.): I, 165, 6326 (preceptor of Dhṛṣṭadyumna).—§ 217 (do.): I, 166, 6332, 6334, 6335, 6336, (6338), 6339, 6340, 6345, 6347, 6349, (6350), 6352, 6354 (repetition of the history of D. from his birth to the division of Drupada's kingdom, cf. §§ 200–9).—§ 218 (Draupadī-saṃbhava): I, 167, 6358, 6359, 6365, 6377, 6378, 6380, 6385 (*Antakam*), 6386, 6397 (*vadhāya*), 6409 (Drupada performed a sacrifice in order to obtain a son who might slay D.; then Dhṛṣṭadyumna arose from the fire.
