Here Arjuna rejects illusion and sets against it the strength of lineage. It is telling that he names the descent of the weapon -- from Brihaspati down to Drona: divine knowledge does not descend by self-assertion but through a chain of teachers. Here is an image of parampara: genuine power and truth are transmitted through a succession of masters, and are thereby full and effective. Thus the text shows that Arjuna is strong not through trickery but through knowledge lawfully received; and the lineage that sanctifies his weapon stands against the gandharva's empty illusion.
