At this moment Partha, having readied his great bow, wishing to surpass his teacher, the foremost of all masters of weapons, again loosed seven hundred more, and a thousand unswerving, and others he hurled by the tens of thousands — they struck that army of Drona.

'Viśeṣayiṣyan ācāryam,' 'wishing to surpass his teacher' — but not to humiliate him: the disciple strives to show the worthy fruit of his training, turning his power upon the army rather than the guru's life. It is telling that for the noble, surpassing one's teacher is an honor to the teacher himself, for the disciple's success is the glory of the one who taught him. The verse teaches that worthy rivalry with a guru is not rebellion: the disciple honors his teacher through the very striving to equal and surpass him; and the fruits by which the pupil exceeds his teacher crown not himself alone but, above all, the one who raised him.
