When Dronacharya asked Arjuna to shoot the mango on the branch of a tree, he aimed his arrow to the target. Dronacharya asked Arjuna,
“Are you seeing the target?”
“Yes,” said Arjuna.
“ Are you seeing the leaves and the branches and the hills in the yonder too?”
“Nope, Only mango.” Said Arjuna
And that is FOCUS.

The Arjun focus is well known. But why changed 'bird eye' to 'mango
I dont know. i heard as mango from a religious lecture by a well known Pundit. I didnt change
The story is that on question by Dronacharya, Arjun first said- I see bird. Again, he said only 'eye of bird'. Thus, you need see the target very minutely. 'Bird eye' should be target. .

Yes I know about this story too. I would like to say one thing. There are different mythologies in circulation in different languages and areas. There is no Taramati, Harischandra's wife in Telugu mythology. Here the name has undergone a change as .Chandramati.' I can quote hundreds of examples like this.
Arjuna was the best shooter in the epics. I would say that nobody can be like him. He has good concentration of mind with good eye sight.
But according to some mythologies ( We have hundreds of them), Karna is a better archer. And Ekalavya is the best of all. It was due to Dronacharya;s sabotage to clear the way to Arjuna, his dearest pupil to show the world as the 'Best Archer" both of them were snubbed.
If you chase two rabbits, both will escape. So we should fix the target and have to focus on that target alone will help you to achieve it.
A bird in hand is better than two in the bush, this is true of anywhere in life...Unless we are focused and work towards our goal we remain stagnant...
Krana was the tragic hero of Mahabharat , he was shunned by his own brothers,the lady he loved ( Draupadi) and had to meet such a violent death all because of one thoughtless mistake that Kunti made..I guess that is what is called destiny and fate ! :dry:

Eklavya suffered because of low caste. Karna had also unknown parentage and he was known as low caste chariot driver. So, he also suffered. .

May be, we are not concerned with the reasons. 'Who is the best archer" is the issue. Drona himself says in order to save Arjuna, he asked the thumb of Ekalavya as 'Guru Dakshina' from Ekalaya.
Ekalavya and Karna were better than Arjuna. Still they could not get chance to proove themselves because they don't have gracings of Lord Krishna. Arjuna was blessed with the merit of best archery in that age. Thus he remained famous. Nobody could superset him.
Truth can't be erased. Even Krishna acknowledges the fact more than once. Simply because Karna doesn't have the blessings of Krishna truth can't be erased

yes, bird's eye is correct, not mango. :laugh: :laugh: I doubt if it's bird's neck :silly:

Arjun had first seen the leaves and bird, then only bird and last only eye of the bird. While aiming, he saw only eye of the bird.

Bird's eye or mango will make no difference. We are talking about concentration. It may be a human eye. As far as the mythologies are concerned, I'm sure some version of Maha bharat will be having 'Arjun shooting a Deer's eye. I don't believe in mythologies. I believe in grasping good from them.
