Shloka 21
द्रोणपर्व — अध्याय ९०: हार्दिक्यस्य पराक्रमः
Kṛtavarmā’s Stand against the Pāṇḍavas
अथ कृष्णो5प्यसम्भ्रान्त: पार्थेन सह मारिष | प्राध्मापयत् पाउचजन्यं शड्खं प्रवरमोजसा,आर्य! तब श्रीकृष्णने भी अर्जुनके साथ बिना किसी घबराहटके अपने श्रेष्ठ शंख पांचजन्यको बलपूर्वक बजाया
atha kṛṣṇo 'py asambhrāntaḥ pārthena saha māriṣa | prādhmāpayat pāñcajanyaṃ śaṅkhaṃ pravaram ojasā ||
サञ्जयは言った。ついでクリシュナもまた動じることなく、パールタ（アルジュナ）とともに、最上の法螺貝パンチャジャニヤを力強く吹き鳴らした—戦乱のただ中にあっても揺るがぬ勇気の宣言である。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights steadiness under pressure: Kṛṣṇa remains asambhrānta (free from panic) and acts decisively. Ethically, it models leadership that strengthens morale and affirms commitment to dharma even when violence and fear surround the battlefield.
In the midst of the battle setting, Kṛṣṇa, alongside Arjuna, blows his famed conch Pāñcajanya with great force. The sounding of the conch functions as a public signal of readiness, confidence, and coordinated action.
