Explanation

Drona's father was the sage Bharadwaja (also spelled Bhardhwaja), one of the great rishis in Hindu tradition. Dronacharya inherited his knowledge of weapons and warfare from his father, which he later taught to the Pandava and Kaurava princes. Hiranyadhanu was actually Eklavya's father, while Parashurama was Drona's guru who taught him advanced military arts.
