Here Drona is wondrously born -- from a vessel, and thence takes his name (drona -- "vessel, pot"). Notable is the repetition of the motif: like Sharadvan (Kripa's father), Bharadvaja too, struck by the sight of an apsaras, spills his seed, from which a great man is born. Here is both the power of kama even over sages, and at once the might of tapas, which turns even the involuntary into an instrument of providence: the ascetic's seed is not lost but wondrously gives rise to the teacher of heroes. Notable too is that Drona, though born in an unusual way, still "studied the Vedas in their entirety": a wondrous birth does not exempt one from the labor of learning. Thus the scripture reveals the origin of Drona -- a brahmin of wondrous birth and complete learning, destined to become the acharya of the whole Kuru line.
