Ekalavya said: "Know me, O heroes, as the son of the lord of the Nishadas, Hiranyadhanus, and a disciple of Drona, who has labored in the science of archery." Vaishampayana said: "Having learned the truth of it, the Pandavas returned and told Drona all that wondrous matter just as it had happened. But Arjuna, son of Kunti, O king, remembering Ekalavya, met Drona in private and, out of affection, said to him: 'Was it not to me alone that you, embracing me, lovingly spoke this word: "There shall be no disciple of mine above you"? Then how is it that there is one surpassing me, and mightiest in the world -- another disciple of yours, the son of the lord of the Nishadas?'"

Here is laid bare the seed of the sorrowful turn to come -- Arjuna's jealous grievance. It is telling that Ekalavya humbly calls himself "Drona's disciple," though Drona had rejected him: in his heart he is truly a disciple, honoring the guru he himself has chosen. Telling too is Arjuna's side: he reminds Drona of his promise of pre-eminence -- and in this, for all his devotion, jealousy shows through, an unwillingness to share glory. Scripture here exposes a subtle shadow even on the best of disciples: attachment to being first can cloud even a noble soul. It is telling that Arjuna speaks "out of affection" (praṇayāt) -- he does not act in hostility, but seeks confirmation from his guru; and yet from this request something cruel will follow. Thus scripture brings together two devotions -- Ekalavya's humble one and Arjuna's jealous one -- and from their collision, through Drona's bias, an injustice will come to pass.
