Duryodhana-śibira-praveśaḥ — The Pāṇḍavas Enter the Kaurava Camp; The Burning of Arjuna’s Chariot
ततः प्राध्मापयन् शड्खान् पाउ्चजन्यं च माधव: । ह्ृष्टा दुर्योधन दृष्टवा निहतं पुरुषर्षभ
tataḥ prādhmāpayan śaṅkhān pāñcajanyaṃ ca mādhavaḥ | hṛṣṭā duryodhanaṃ dṛṣṭvā nihataṃ puruṣarṣabha ||
তেতিয়া মাধৱ (কৃষ্ণ) এ শঙ্খধ্বনি কৰালে—বিশেষকৈ পাঞ্চজন্য। পুৰুষবৃষভ দুর্যোধন নিহত হোৱা দেখি যোদ্ধাসকল হর্ষে উল্লসিত হ’ল; অধৰ্মী নেতাৰ পতনে যুদ্ধ-ভাৰৰ অন্ত আৰু ধৰ্ম-স্থাপনৰ নিকটতা সূচালে।

Educational Q&A
The verse frames the fall of an adharma-driven ruler as a turning point: righteous order is reaffirmed when tyranny and obstinacy meet their due end, and the conch-blast functions as a public signal of moral and strategic resolution.
After Duryodhana’s death, Kṛṣṇa has the conches blown—his own Pāñcajanya prominent—while the onlookers rejoice upon seeing Duryodhana slain; Sañjaya reports this to Dhṛtarāṣṭra.
