When he had taken rest for a while, Bhishma, taking his grandsons, the Kurus, gave them to him as his pupils, making him their preceptor with the presents of various wealth. That lord (Bhishma) gave the son of Bharadvaja (Drona) a neat and tidy house, well filled with paddy and every kind of wealth.
विश्रान्तेऽथ गुरौ तस्मिन् पौत्रानादाय कौरवान्। शिष्यत्वेन ददौ भीष्मो वसूनि विविधानि च॥ गृहं च सुपरिच्छन्नं धनधान्यसमाकुलम्। भारद्वाजाय सुप्रीतः प्रत्यपादयत प्रभुः॥
