dronaachaarya rishi bharadvaaj tatha ghrutaarchi naamak apsara ke putr tatha dharnuvidya mein nipun parashuraam ke shishya the.^[1] kuroo pradesh mein paandu ke paaainchon putr tatha dhrutaraashtr ke sau putron ke ve guru the. mahaabhaarat yuddh ke samay vah kaurav paksh ke senaapati the. guru dronaachaarya ke anya shishyon mein ekalavya ka naam ullekhaneeya hai. usane gurudakshina mein apna angootha dronaachaarya ko de diya tha. kauravo aur paandavo ne dronaachaarya ke aashram me hi astro aur shastro ki shiksha paayi thi. arjun dronaachaarya ke priya shishya the. ve arjun ko vishv ka sarvashreshth dhanurdhar banaana chaahate the.
