Sañjaya said: Then conches, kettledrums, tabors, war-drums, and great drums resounded; and everywhere, O King, kettledrums were beaten and cymbals clashed. Immediately after, on all sides in both armies, those instruments that raise a mighty din—conches, drums, tabors, war-drums, great drums, cymbals and the like—burst into sound. The kettledrums were struck, and with them rose the lion-roars of heroic warriors who longed for victory, an outward surge of martial resolve that drives the battle onward.
