Chapter 148: Karṇa’s Pressure, Dhṛṣṭadyumna Unhorsed, and the Summoning of Ghaṭotkaca
भीमश्न वृष्णिसिंहश्न युधामन्युश्चव भारत । उत्तमौजाश्च विक्रान्त: शंखान् दध्मु: पृथक् पृथक्,भारत! तत्पश्चात् भीमसेन, वृष्णिवंशके सिंह, युधामन्यु और पराक्रमी उत्तमौजाने पृथक्-पृथक् शंख बजाये

bhīmaś ca vṛṣṇisiṃhaś ca yudhāmanyuś ca bhārata |
uttamaujāś ca vikrāntaḥ śaṅkhān dadhmuḥ pṛthak pṛthak ||
サンジャヤは言った。「バーラタよ、そののち、ビーマ、ヴリシュニ族の獅子、ユダーマニュ、そして勇猛なるウッタマウジャが、それぞれ別々に法螺貝を吹き鳴らした。これは軍勢を奮い立たせ、戦場に展開する正しき戦いへの備えを告げる、力強い武の合図であった。」

Educational Q&A
Even amid war, disciplined coordination and steadfast courage matter: the separate conch-blasts function as a moral and strategic affirmation of resolve, strengthening one’s side to act firmly in what it believes to be a dharmic cause.
Sañjaya reports that key Pāṇḍava-aligned warriors—Bhīma, the foremost Vṛṣṇi hero, Yudhāmanyu, and Uttamaujā—each blow their conches individually, signaling readiness and rallying their troops in the ongoing battle of Droṇa Parva.
