قال سنجيا: فرِحين، أطلقوا مرارًا صيحاتِ قتالٍ كزئير الأسد ونفخوا في محاراتٍ كثيرة؛ ومعًا دوَّوا أيضًا بالطبول: طبول الحرب، وطبول المِردَنْغا، وطبول الآناكا. وكان ذلك مشهدًا لإثارة الحماسة القتالية وشحذ العزم الجماعي قبيل الصدام القادم.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how sound and ritualized signals (conches, drums, battle-cries) are used to unify a group, intensify courage, and publicly declare commitment to action. Ethically, it underscores the power of collective emotion in warhow enthusiasm can be deliberately amplified, for good or ill, and thus calls for discernment about what one is being rallied toward.
As the battle atmosphere heightens, the warriors (as reported by Sanjaya) exultantly roar and sound conches and war-drums. This is a formal martial proclamation: the army is energizing itself and signaling readiness for the next phase of combat in the Drona Parva.
