"Having mounted the fine chariot, Jishnu, with me as your charioteer -- to which division will you go? Wherever you say, there I will go." Arjuna said: "That red-eyed, unharmed one whom you see standing on his chariot beneath the blue banner marked with a tiger -- that is the division of Kripa's chariots. Take me there exactly. I will show that steadfast archer the swiftness of my weapons. The one on whose banner is a beautiful golden water-pot -- that is the teacher Drona, the best of all who bear weapons. With a wholly serene mind, hero, circle him keeping him to your right. Here, without enmity -- such is the eternal dharma. If Drona strikes my body first, then I will strike him; he will bear no anger for it."

Even in the midst of battle Arjuna keeps the order of reverence: one cannot approach a teacher as an ordinary enemy. Strength does not cancel the etiquette of dharma.
