Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 1, Verse 3

पश्यैतां पाण्डुपुत्राणामाचार्य महतीं चमूम् । व्यूढां द्रुपदपुत्रेण तव शिष्येण धीमता ॥ ३ ॥

paśhyaitāṁ pāṇḍu-putrāṇām āchārya mahatīṁ chamūm vyūḍhāṁ drupada-putreṇa tava śhiṣhyeṇa dhīmatā

Translation

Look, O teacher, at this vast army of the sons of Pandu, arrayed by the son of Drupad — your own talented disciple.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

हे आचार्य! पाण्डु पुत्रों की इस विशाल सेना को देखिए, जिसे आपके ही बुद्धिमान शिष्य द्रुपद-पुत्र ने व्यूह में सजाया है।

Commentary

Duryodhan's words carry a sting. The "son of Drupad" is Dhrishtadyumna, who was born to kill Drona and yet learned warfare from Drona himself. By pointing this out, Duryodhan is needling his teacher: your generosity in teaching an enemy has come back to face you — so do not be soft now on your other beloved students, the Pandavas.
