Kaurava Mobilization at Kurukṣetra (Duryodhana Orders War Preparations) / कुरुक्षेत्रे धार्तराष्ट्र-सैन्यसज्जा
पाञ्चजन्यस्य निर्घोषं विस्फूर्जितमिवाशने: । निशम्य सर्वसैन्यानि समहृष्यन्त सर्वश:,बिजलीकी गड़गड़ाहटके समान पांचजन्यका गम्भीर घोष सुनकर सब ओर फैले हुए समस्त पाण्डवसैनिक हर्षसे उललसित एवं रोमांचित हो उठे
pāñcajanyasya nirghoṣaṃ visphūrjitam ivāśaneḥ | niśamya sarvasainyāni samahṛṣyanta sarvaśaḥ ||
ヴァイシャṃパーヤナは語った。稲妻の轟きにも似た、法螺貝パーンチャジャニヤの深い咆哮を聞くや、軍のあらゆる部隊は四方で歓喜に満たされた。その音は彼らの決意を鎮めて固め、戦の決定の刻が迫るにつれて、集団の勇気を燃え立たせた。

The verse highlights how a righteous cause and confident leadership can unify and uplift a community: a single emblematic signal (the conch’s roar) transforms fear into shared courage and readiness to act.
As the conflict approaches, the booming sound of Pāñcajanya is heard like thunder; on hearing it, the assembled troops become thrilled and joyful, their morale rising across the battlefield.
