श्लोक ३
पश्यैतां पाण्डुपुत्राणामाचार्य महतीं चमूम् ।
व्यूढां द्रुपद्पुत्रेण तव शिष्येण धीमता ।।
व्यूढां द्रुपद्पुत्रेण तव शिष्येण धीमता ।।
हे आचार्य ! आपके बुध्दिमान् शिष्य द्रुपद्पुत्र धृष्ट्द्युम्न द्वारा व्यूहाकार खड़ी की हुयी पान्डुपुत्रों की इस बड़ी भारी सेना को देखिये ।।३।।
Sanjaya continues :
" O my teacher, behold the great army of the sons of Pandu, so expertly arranged by your intelligent disciple, the son of Drupada. "
" Duryodhana, a great diplomat, wanted to point out the defects of Dronacharya, the great brahmana commander-in-chief. Dronacarya had some political quarrel with King Drupada, the father of Draupadi, who was Arjuna's wife. As a result of this quarrel, Drupada performed a great sacrifice, by which he received the benediction of having a son who would be able to kill Dronacharya. Dronacharya knew this perfectly well, and yet, as a liberal brahmana, he did not hesitate to impart all his military secrets when the son of Drupada, Dhristadyumna, was entrusted to him for military education. Now, on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra, Dhristadyumna took the side of the Pandavas, and it was he who arranged for their military phalanx, after having learned the art from Dronacarya. Duryodhana pointed out this mistake of Dronacharya's so that he might be alert and uncompromising in the fighting. By this he wanted to point out also that he should not be similarly lenient in battle against the Pandavas, who were also Dronacharya's affectionate students. Arjuna, especially, was his most affectionate and brilliant student. Duryodhana also warned that such leniency in the fight would lead to defeat. "
