To Duryodhana's delight, the grandsire of the Kuru dynasty let out a lion's roar and loudly blew his conch. Suddenly, all the conches, drums, trumpets, and horns blared forth a tumultuous uproar. Then, from a glorious chariot yoked with white horses, Krishna and Arjuna blew their divine conch shells. Krishna blew a conch named Panchajanya, Arjuna blew a conch named Devadatta, and Bhima blew the great conch named Paundra. Yudhisthira blew his conch Anantavijay, while Nakula and Sahadeva blew the Sughosha and Manipushpaka conches. The King of Kashi, wielding a great bow, the mighty warrior Shikandi, Dhrishtadyumna, Virat, and the invincible Satyaki, Drupad, the sons of Draupadi, and the mighty Abhimanyu, all blew their respective conch shells. That tumultuous uproar reverberated through heaven and earth, and shattered the hearts of your sons. Seeing Dhritirashtra's sons arrayed for war, Arjuna picked up his bow and spoke the following words to Krishna.
