"But truly I say to you: this will now in no way be otherwise — today I will fell their best hero, the great charioteer-warrior. And I will build such an array that it is unbreakable even by the gods; if only, O king, by some trick Arjuna be drawn off. For indeed there is nothing unknown or beyond his powers for him in battle: he has acquired great knowledge of every kind from everywhere."

Drona confesses the highest truth about the Pandavas' invincibility — and in the same breath sets a condition: "if only Arjuna be drawn off." Everything hinges on removing one man: the teacher builds his plan not on overcoming the strongest, but on his absence. Telling is his admission about Arjuna: "nothing is unknown or beyond his powers" — he honors his pupil above himself. The verse teaches that some opponents so surpass others that plans against them are built not on victory but on their absence; that an honest admission of a rival's superiority is wisdom, not weakness; and that in the very necessity of "drawing Arjuna off" lurks the fatal dependence of the design on a trick rather than on valor — and a cause resting on cunning to remove the strongest already carries within it the mark of wrongdoing.
