Shloka 22
कर्णवधार्थं धनञ्जयस्य प्रतिज्ञा — Arjuna’s resolve for Karṇa’s defeat
इत्येवमुक्त्वा बीभत्सुर्देवदत्तमथाधमत् | पाज्चजन्यं च कृष्णो5पि पूरयजन्निव रोदसी,ऐसा कहकर अर्जुनने देवदत्त नामक शंख बजाया। फिर भगवान् श्रीकृष्णने भी पृथ्वी और आकाशको गुँजाते हुए-से पांचजन्य नामक शंखकी ध्वनि फैलायी
ity evam uktvā bībhatsur devadattam athādhamat | pāñcajanyaṃ ca kṛṣṇo 'pi pūrayajann iva rodasī ||
サンジャヤは言った。そう言い終えると、ビーバツ（アルジュナ）は名をデーヴァダッタという法螺貝を吹き鳴らした。ついでクリシュナもまた、パーンチャジャニヤを響かせ、まるでその余韻が天地を満たすかのようであった。

The verse highlights disciplined resolve in a dharmic struggle: the conch-blast is not mere noise but a formal, public declaration of steadfast intent, strengthened by Kṛṣṇa’s divine support—suggesting that righteous action should be undertaken with clarity, courage, and inner alignment.
After speaking, Arjuna blows his conch Devadatta; immediately Kṛṣṇa blows Pāñcajanya. Their combined sound is described as filling earth and sky, signaling the commencement and intensity of the battle atmosphere.
