Shrimad Bhagavad Gita 1.3

पश्यैतां पाण्डुपुत्राणामाचार्य महतीं चमूम्।

व्यूढां द्रुपदपुत्रेण तव शिष्येण धीमता।।1.3।।

1.3. O teacher! Behold this mighty army of the sons of Pandu, marshalled in a military array by Drupada's son, your intelligent pupil.

Here we get to know what was left in the second shloka of the respective scripture. Duryodhana approaches Acharya Drona and talks to him about the might Pandava army standing in front of him. In a way, Duryodhana extols the military line up set up by Drishtdumn, Draupadi’s brother and Acharya Dron’s pupil.

Duryodhana, emphasized the name of Drupada’s son because of an old incident as per which Durpada did penance to get children who would one day kill Acharya Drona, in order to avenge the slight to his might inflicted by Acharya Drona. The two children who were the fruition of the Putrakameshti yagya were Draupadi and Dhristdumn.

Much as Acharya Dron knew everything about the yagya from the beginning, he still didn’t eschew his paramount principles as a teacher, and hence allocated combat training to Drishtdumn with Pandavas and Kauravas.

Duryodhana’s shrewdness as a sanguine fighter is seen in this shloka as he is ostentatiously reminding Acharya Dron that he must not shower mercy on the antagonistic side, by making him recapitulate about the yagya and the purpose for which Drishtdumn was born.
