Shloka 138
अध्याय १४८ — कर्णप्रभावः, धृष्टद्युम्नस्य विरथता, तथा घटोत्कच-आह्वानम्
Chapter 148: Karṇa’s Pressure, Dhṛṣṭadyumna Unhorsed, and the Summoning of Ghaṭotkaca
श्रुत्वा महान्तं तं शब्दं धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिर: । सैन्धवं निहतं मेने फाल्गुनेन महात्मना,उस महान् शंखनादको सुनकर धर्मराज युधिष्ठिरको यह निश्चय हो गया कि महात्मा अर्जुनने सिंधुराज जयद्रथको मार डाला
śrutvā mahāntaṃ taṃ śabdaṃ dharmarājo yudhiṣṭhiraḥ | saindhavaṃ nihataṃ mene phālgūnena mahātmanā ||
Sañjaya said: Hearing that mighty sound, King Yudhiṣṭhira—steadfast in dharma—became convinced that the Sindhu prince Jayadratha had been slain by the great-souled Arjuna. In the moral atmosphere of the war, the sound functions as a sign of fulfilled vow and restored resolve, strengthening the righteous side’s confidence amid grief and uncertainty.
