The fourfold, tenfold Dhanurveda, both divine and human, he learned in full from Arjuna, knower of the Vedas; in knowledge of weapons, in skill, and in every technique Arjuna taught him their finer points; in theory and in practice he made him his equal. Dhananjaya rejoiced in his son Saubhadra, beholding him — endowed with every bodily strength, marked with all auspicious signs, unconquerable, bull-shouldered, lion-proud, a great archer, with the fury of a maddened elephant, with a voice like thundercloud and drum, with a face like the full moon, resembling Krishna in valor, might, beauty, and form. Bibhatsu beheld his son, as Indra beheld his own.

Here a father makes his son his equal and rejoices in him. It is significant that Arjuna teaches Abhimanyu 'as himself': a generous teacher withholds no knowledge but pours it out in full. Significant too is the son's likeness to Krishna: in him is reflected something of the Lord's own splendor. Here is a father's joy in a worthy heir. So the scripture shows forth Abhimanyu's perfections; and his valor is both Arjuna's delight and the pledge of glory to come.
