भीमकर्णसमागमः | Bhīma–Karṇa Encounter
ततः प्रहृष्टो दाशा्: पाण्डवश्ष धनंजय: । व्यक्रोशेतां महानादं दश्मतुश्चाम्बुजोत्तमौ,तब हर्षमें भरे हुए श्रीकृष्ण और पाण्डुनन्दन अर्जुनने बड़े जोरसे सिंहनाद किया और अपने उत्तम शंखोंको बजाया
tataḥ prahṛṣṭau dāśārhaḥ pāṇḍavaś ca dhanañjayaḥ | vyakrośetāṃ mahānādaṃ dadhmatuś cāmbujo-uttamau ||
Then, filled with exhilaration, Dāśārha (Śrī Kṛṣṇa) and the Pāṇḍava Dhanañjaya (Arjuna) raised a mighty lion-like roar and blew their excellent conches.

Educational Q&A
Even amid violence and uncertainty, righteous action requires inner steadiness and courageous resolve; the conch-blast symbolizes commitment to duty (svadharma) rather than mere aggression.
Sañjaya reports that Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, heartened and confident, shout a great roar and blow their conches, signaling readiness and rallying their side in the battle setting of the Droṇa Parva.
