ततस्ते पाण्डवा राजन् दृष्टवा सात्यकिविक्रमम् | शड्खशब्दान् भृशं चक्कुः सिंहनादांश्व नेदिरे,राजन! सात्यकिका यह पराक्रम देख पाण्डव बड़े जोर-जोरसे शंख बजाने और सिंहनाद करने लगे
tataste pāṇḍavā rājan dṛṣṭvā sātyakivikramam | śaṅkhaśabdān bhṛśaṃ cakruḥ siṃhanādāṃś ca nedi re ||
Sañjaya said: “Then, O King, when the Pāṇḍavas beheld Sātyaki’s prowess, they sounded their conches with great force and raised lion-roars. By this they proclaimed courage, rallied their own ranks, and honored valor shown in the cause of their side.”

After witnessing Sātyaki’s remarkable feats in battle, the Pāṇḍavas respond with loud conch-blasts and triumphant shouts, signaling approval, rallying their troops, and asserting confidence against the enemy.
