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*:

- 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
