Texual Solutions

(একলব্য কোন আছিল?)

(একলব্য নিষাদ বংশৰ এজন যুৱ ৰাজকুমাৰ আছিল।)

(b) What did he want to learn?

(তেওঁ কি শিকিব বিচাৰিছিল?)

Answer: He wanted to learn the art of archery (shooting arrows).

(তেওঁ ধনুৰ্বিদ্যা বা কাঁড় মৰাৰ বিদ্যা শিকিব বিচাৰিছিল।)

(c) Who did he want to be his guru?

(তেওঁ কাক নিজৰ গুৰু হিচাপে বিচাৰিছিল?)

Answer: He wanted Guru Dronacharya to be his teacher.

(তেওঁ গুৰু দ্ৰোণাচাৰ্যক নিজৰ শিক্ষক হিচাপে বিচাৰিছিল।)

(d) Why did Drona refuse to teach him?

(দ্ৰোণে তেওঁক শিকাবলৈ কিয় অস্বীকাৰ কৰিছিল?)

Answer: Drona refused to teach him because Ekalavya was not a Kshatriya.

(দ্ৰোণে তেওঁক শিকাবলৈ অস্বীকাৰ কৰিছিল কাৰণ একলব্য ক্ষত্ৰিয় নাছিল।)

(e) What did Ekalavya do then?

(তেতিয়া একলব্যই কি কৰিছিল?)

Answer: Feeling sad and disappointed, Ekalavya went away from there.

(দুখ আৰু হতাশ হৈ একলব্য তাৰ পৰা গুচি গৈছিল।)

(f) How did he prove that he was a great archer?

(তেওঁ এজন মহান ধনুৰ্ধৰ বুলি কেনেকৈ প্ৰমাণ কৰিছিল?)

Answer: While Drona and his students were hunting in the forest, their dog wandered to the spot where Ekalavya was practising. As the dog barked, Ekalavya shot several arrows into its mouth to silence it without hurting the animal. Seeing this, Drona realized Ekalavya’s exceptional skill as a great archer.

(যেতিয়া দ্ৰোণ আৰু তেওঁৰ শিষ্যসকলে অৰণ্যত চিকাৰ কৰি আছিল, তেওঁলোকৰ কুকুৰটো একলব্যৰ অনুশীলন স্থলীলৈ গৈছিল। কুকুৰটোৱে ভুকিবলৈ ধৰোঁতে একলব্যই কুকুৰটোক আঘাত নকৰাকৈ তাৰ মুখখনত কেইবাডালো কাঁড় মাৰি দিছিল। এই দৃশ্য দেখি দ্ৰোণে একলব্যৰ মহান ধনুৰ্ধৰ হোৱাৰ প্ৰমাণ পাইছিল।)

(g) What made Drona surprised?

(দ্ৰোণ কিয় আচৰিত হৈছিল?)

Answer: Drona was surprised to see the dog with its mouth filled with arrows, as it required immense precision and skill to do so.

(দ্ৰোণ আচৰিত হৈছিল কুকুৰটোৰ মুখত কাঁড়বোৰ দেখি, কাৰণ এনে কাৰ্যৰ বাবে অসাধাৰণ নিখুঁত দক্ষতাৰ প্ৰয়োজন আছিল।)

(h) What did he ask Ekalavya to give him?

(তেওঁ একলব্যক কি দিবলৈ কৈছিল?)

Answer: Drona asked Ekalavya for his right thumb as ‘Guru Dakshina’ (teacher’s fee).

(দ্ৰোণে একলব্যৰ পৰা গুৰুদক্ষিণা হিচাপে সোঁহাতৰ বুঢ়া আঙুলিটো খুজিছিল।)

(i) What did Ekalavya do?

(একলব্যই কি কৰিছিল?)

Answer: Without a moment’s hesitation, Ekalavya took a sharp arrow, cut off his right thumb, and placed it at the feet of the Acharya.

(এক মুহূৰ্তৰ বাবেও সংকোচ নকৰাকৈ, একলব্যই এটা চোকা কাঁড় লৈ নিজৰ সোঁহাতৰ বুঢ়া আঙুলিটো কাটি আচাৰ্যৰ চৰণত অৰ্পণ কৰিছিল।)

(j) Do you think Drona was right? Give reasons.

(তুমি ভাবানে দ্ৰোণ সঠিক আছিল? কাৰণসহ উত্তৰ দিয়া।)

Answer: No, I do not think Drona was right. Ekalavya showed true devotion by making a clay statue of his Guru and practising archery with dedication, proving that he deserved to be a student. Demanding his thumb was an unfair act that hindered the talent of a dedicated student.

(নহয়, মই নাভাবোঁ দ্ৰোণ সঠিক আছিল। একলব্যই নিজৰ গুৰুৰ মাটিৰ মূৰ্তি সাজি একাগ্ৰতাৰে ধনুৰ্বিদ্যা শিকি আচল ভক্তিৰ পৰিচয় দিছিল, যিয়ে প্ৰমাণ কৰে যে তেওঁ এজন যোগ্য শিষ্য আছিল। তেওঁৰ পৰা বুঢ়া আঙুলিটো খুজি লোৱাটো এটা অন্যায় কাম আছিল যিয়ে এজন একাগ্ৰ শিষ্যৰ প্ৰতিভাক বাধা দিছিল।)
