Explanation

Dronacharya was asked by Duryodhana to examine the Pandava army’s finely organized military phalanx, led by their commander-in-chief Dhristadyumna, King Dhrupad’s son. He was also a student of Dronacharya. Duryodhana was discreetly reminding his teacher that Dhristadyumna, although being his disciple, was his adversary’s son who had been born with a boon to kill him. Here, he tries to influence Guru’s mind about him.
