History
Every father worries about their child's future, just like Acharya Dron was concerned
about his son Ashwatthama. Though Ashwatthama was sensible and honest, his father's
actions made him uneasy, even though they were well-intentioned. Ashwatthama admired
Arjun's capabilities but sometimes Acharya's preference for Arjun made him uncomfortable.
Once, Ashwatthama intervened similarly with Eklavya, leading to an unexpected revelation.
Eklavya disclosed his self-taught skills to Acharya Dron, who felt upset. Ashwatthama,
witnessing this, sensed that his father's anger could lead to dire consequences. Eventually,
Eklavya cut off his thumb, sacrificing his talent to honor Dron as his guru. This incident left
Ashwatthama feeling conflicted—partly sympathetic towards Eklavya and partly troubled by his
father's behavior. This situation continued to stir up thoughts about what's right and wrong.
Ultimately, Ashwatthama sought clarity from his father about the eventful night between Guru
Dron and Eklavya.
