द्रोणपर्व (अध्याय ११२) — कर्णभीमयोर्युद्धम्, दुर्योधनस्य रक्षणादेशः

Droṇa-parva 112: Karṇa–Bhīma Engagement and Duryodhana’s Protective Order

वर्तमाने तथा रौद्रे तस्मिन्‌ वीरवरक्षये । अशृणोत्‌ सहसा पार्थ: पाउ्चजन्यस्य नि:स्वनम्‌,बड़े-बड़े वीरोंका संहार करनेवाला वह भयंकर संग्राम चल ही रहा था कि सहसा कुन्तीकुमार युधिष्ठिरने पांचजन्यकी ध्वनि सुनी

vartamāne tathā raudre tasmin vīravarakṣaye | aśṛṇot sahasā pārthaḥ pāñcajanyasya niḥsvanam ||

Sañjaya dit : Tandis que cette bataille terrible—qui entraînait la destruction des plus grands héros—faisait rage, Pārtha entendit soudain le souffle retentissant de la conque Pāñcajanya. Au milieu du carnage et du tumulte, le signal familier de la conque de Kṛṣṇa trancha le vacarme, marquant un tournant décisif de l’esprit et de la résolution sous le poids moral de la guerre.

As the fierce battle continues with heavy hero-slaying, Pārtha suddenly hears the loud blast of Pāñcajanya, Kṛṣṇa’s conch, indicating an important development or rallying signal on the battlefield.
