Three Indian Princes Yudhisthira, Bheema, and Arjun with theirs bows and arrows in position ready to shoot at the target are being first tested by their teacher Drona.
DRONA
Yudhisthira, what do you see?
YUDHISTHIRA
I see 10 mango trees, 3 banyan trees and a
fig tree. On the third branch from the top of the
fig tree is perched a Kokila (in Sanskrit) bird.
DRONA
(angrily)
Get away!
Drona then walks over to Bheema.
DRONA
Bheem...
BHEEMA
I see only the bird, that's all.
DRONA
Really?
BHEEMA
Yes. Just look at him sit there
enjoying the smell of the fruits ...
while I'm dying of hunger here.
DRONA
(very brusquely)
You too, get away from here!
The teacher then walks over to Arjun.
DRONA
Arjun?
ARJUN
Eye...only an eye.
DRONA
And?
ARJUN
Nothing else.
DRONA
Aren't you able to see what your brothers see?
The birds, trees, branches, fruits ... Are you blind?
ARJUN
(firmly)
My eye only sees the eye of the bird, teacher.
Drona looks at Arjun contentedly.
DRONA
(orders)
Release the arrow!
