A chariot, an elephant, a horse, and foot soldiers alike — each one, O lord of peoples, the great warrior pierced with a single arrow in battle. Yet among the armies of the Pandavas there is none, O Bharata, who could withstand in battle the sharp arrows loosed from Drona's bow.

Drona's mastery is such that "ekaikena ishuna" — with a single arrow — he pierces each foe, and none can bear his shafts. The teacher's perfection stands at its zenith. It is telling that this unmatched skill is the very fruit of the training by which he raised Arjuna himself. The verse teaches that a teacher's gift shows two faces: the same art he gave his pupils now turns against them; and supreme skill, set on the wrong side, makes the teacher a terror to his own disciples — the bitter fate of a gift parted from truth.
