In this *iconic episode* of Mahabharat , *Guru Dronacharya begins training Arjun, molding him into the world’s greatest archer – while **Eklavya watches heartbroken* from the shadows.
### *Unforgettable Moments:* 🏹 *Divine Training Begins*: - Drona’s *first lesson: *"An archer’s focus must pierce through darkness!" - Arjun *hits a rotating fish-eye target* just by its reflection - Guru’s promise: "You’ll be unparalleled – until I meet a better student" (foreshadowing Karna)
💔 *Eklavya’s Exclusion*: - The Nishadha prince *practices alone* with a mud statue of Drona - Drona *coldly rejects him: *"Only Kshatriyas may learn from me!" - Eklavya’s tears *water the forest soil* where he trains
🌿 *Contrasting Paths*: - Arjun *enjoys personalized lessons* with golden arrows - Meanwhile, *Bheem struggles* with precision, Duryodhan *cheats* in mace fights - Vidura warns: "Favoritism breeds war!"
