Answers
drona asked Buttoo to give thee revere to him as a master , I promise you what you ask i will give it to you . Drona says , don't make rash promises . Buttoo says, it's ok I can give you everything I shall have . Drona, give me your right hand thumb as a thee revery .
Explanation:
After buttoo tells dronacharya that he has been his master ,the master tells Buttoo that if he has been buttoo's master ,,and if buttoos education is over , then he should give his master his due for having taught him. buttoo readily agrees and wants to know the wish of his master. the master ask him whether it's a promise. when buttoo confirms that it's a promise , the master cautions him that if the promise is made rashly without having been given enough thought , it will lead to suffering. Buttoo unhesitatingly assures him that he would fulfill the promise .At this ,the master tells arjuna that ,for his sake he asks the youth to give his right hand thumb . he further adds that in his faithfulness to arjuna he had promised him that there would be no equal to arjuna and hence he asked for the thumb of buttoo . thus we see the master doing injustice to one pupil in his desire to do justice to another pupil .On his part, Buttoo gives just a glance at the sharp knife and serves the thumb .There is no tear in Buttoo's eye . the master tells him that for this act of loyalty to master, Buttoo's fame would spread from sea to sea and people would remember him for self help truth and modesty.
