द्रोणपर्व (अध्याय १) — भीष्मनिधनानन्तरं धृतराष्ट्रस्य शोकः, सेनायाः स्थितिः, कर्णस्मरणं च
Droṇa Parva, Chapter 1: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s grief after Bhīṣma’s fall and the army’s reorientation toward Karṇa
ततस्तूर्यनिनादैश्व॒ भेरीणां निनदेन च । तावकानामनीकानि परेषां च विनिर्ययु:,तदनन्तर बाजोंकी ध्वनि और नगाड़ोंकी गड़गड़ाहटके साथ आपकी तथा पाण्डवोंकी भी सेनाएँ युद्धके लिये निकलीं
tatas tūryaninādaiś ca bherīṇāṃ ninadena ca | tāvakānām anīkāni pareṣāṃ ca viniryayuḥ ||
そのとき、法螺と喇叭の轟き、太鼓の雷鳴の中で、汝が軍と敵軍の戦列はともに進み出た。両軍は、定められた戦の業へと歩み入り、義務と野望と、その報いがまさに試されようとしていた。

The verse underscores the inevitability and gravity of collective action in war: once the instruments of battle sound, both sides advance, and the moral weight of decisions shifts from intention to consequence—testing rulers and warriors on how they uphold duty (dharma) amid violence.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that, after the martial signals—trumpets and war-drums—both the Kaurava formations and the opposing Pāṇḍava formations move out to engage, marking the formal commencement of battle movements.
