In battle, righteous resolve is sustained not only by weapons but by courage, unity, and morale. The conch-blast symbolizes confident purpose: it heartens the dharmic side while unsettling opponents, showing how inner strength and clear intent can shape outcomes.
Śalya describes two leading warriors (on Yudhiṣṭhira’s side) blowing their conches so powerfully that the landscape seems to echo. The sound frightens Duryodhana’s army and simultaneously lifts Yudhiṣṭhira’s spirits, signaling readiness and momentum in the ongoing Kurukṣetra conflict.
