शब्द: समभवद् राजन् दिविस्पृग् भरतर्षभ । राजन! भरतश्रेष्ठ] उस समय शंख, भेरी और मृदंगोंकी ध्वनि, गरजते हुए गजराजोंका चीत्कार और फैलाये तथा खींचे गये धनुषोंकी टंकार--इन सबका सम्मिलित शब्द आकाशमें गूँज उठा था

サञ्जयは言った。「王よ、バーラタ族の雄牛よ。その時、天に届くほどの、ただ一つの圧倒的な轟きが起こった。法螺貝、戦鼓(ベーリー)とムリダンガの合奏、怒り狂う大象の咆哮、そして弓が引き絞られ伸ばされるときの鋭い弦音——それらが一つとなって虚空に鳴り響いた。」
संजय उवाच
The verse underscores how collective action in war becomes publicly manifest and irreversible: the unified roar of instruments, elephants, and bows embodies resolve and the kṣatriya-world’s sense of duty, while also hinting at the moral weight of choices that now move from intention to violent reality.
Sañjaya reports to the king that the battlefield erupted in a sky-reaching din—conches and drums sounding together, elephants trumpeting, and bows twanging as they are drawn—marking the armies’ mobilization and the intensification of combat in the Droṇa Parva.
