द्रोणपर्व — पञ्चदशोऽध्यायः (Droṇa Parva, Chapter 15): युधिष्ठिर-रक्षा तथा अर्जुनस्य शरवृष्टिः
ततस्तूर्यनिनादाश्न शड्खानां च सहस्रश: । सिंहनादाश्न संजज्ञुभेरीणां च महास्वना:,उस समय सहस्रों रणवाद्यों और शंखोंके शब्द वहाँ गूँज उठे। वीरोंके सिंहनाद प्रकट होने लगे और नगाड़ोंके गम्भीर घोष सर्वत्र व्याप्त हो गये
tatas tūryaninādāś ca śaṅkhānāṃ ca sahasraśaḥ | siṃhanādāś ca saṃjajñuḥ bherīṇāṃ ca mahāsvanāḥ ||
サञ्जयは語った。そのとき一斉に、戦の楽器の轟きと、幾千の法螺貝の響きが鳴り渡った。勇士たちの獅子吼が起こり、巨大な太鼓の重くうねる音が四方に満ちた—武の熱気が不吉に高まり、勇気を奮い立たせると同時に、まもなく広がる大殺戮を告げるのであった。

The verse highlights how collective martial signals—conches, drums, and heroic cries—can inflame courage and unity, yet they also foreshadow the moral weight of impending slaughter. It invites reflection on how external excitement can propel action, making discernment and restraint crucial even amid righteous duty.
As the battle intensifies in Droṇa Parva, the battlefield erupts with the sounds of instruments and shouts: thousands of conches and trumpets blare, warriors roar like lions, and massive drums thunder across the field, signaling a major surge in combat.
