Question

3. What did Dronacharya ask Ekalavya as Guru Dakshina? Why?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Drona acknowledged Arjuna’s claim and went with the princes to look for Ekalavya. He found Ekalavya, as always, diligently practising archery. Seeing Drona, Ekalavya prostrated himself and clasped the teacher’s hands, awaiting his order.

Drona asked Ekalavya for a guru Dakshina that a student owes his teacher upon the completion of his training. Ekalavya replied that there was nothing he would not give his teacher. Drona asked for Ekalavya’s right thumb, knowing that its loss will hamper Ekalavya’s ability to pursue archery. Ekalavya, however, cheerfully and without hesitation severed his thumb and handed it to Drona. For his part, Arjuna was relieved to find that the crippled Ekalavya could no longer shoot with his former skill and facility.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Dronacharya asked Eklavya his thumb as a Guru Dakshina because Dronacharya promised Arjuna that we will be the best archer in this world forever and Eklavya was a more skilled archer than Arjuna. So Dronacharya asked Eklavya for his thumb as a Guru Dakshina. Now with his thumb gone, Eklavya cannot use the bow and arrow and thus, this makes Arjuna the best archer in the world.
