Shloka 10
ततः पुनर्भीमरवं प्रगृहाय दोर्भ्या महाशड्खमुदारघोषम् । व्यनादयत् स प्रदिशो दिश: खं भुवं च पार्थो द्विषतां निहन्ता,तत्पश्चात् शत्रुहन्ता कुन्तीकुमारने भयंकर शब्द करनेवाले अपने महाशंखको, जिसकी आवाज बहुत दूरतक सुनायी पड़ती थी, दोनों हाथोंसे थामकर बजाया। उसकी ध्वनि सम्पूर्ण दिशाओं-विदिशाओं, आकाश तथा पृथ्वीमें सब ओर गूँज उठी
tataḥ punar bhīmaravaṁ pragṛhya dorbhyāṁ mahāśaṅkham udāraghoṣam | vyanādayat sa pradiśo diśaḥ khaṁ bhuvaṁ ca pārtho dviṣatāṁ nihantā ||
そののち再び、敵を討つ者パールタは、両腕で大いなる法螺貝を取り上げた。その咆哮はビーマの雷鳴のごとく、響きは遠くまで届く。彼がこれを吹き鳴らすと、その余韻は四方と方隅、天と地のすみずみにまで満ちわたり—迫り来る激突の前に、決意を告げる畏るべき宣言となった。

The verse highlights the kṣatriya ethic of steadfastness: a righteous warrior signals readiness openly, strengthening allies and unsettling aggressors. The conch’s far-reaching sound symbolizes public commitment to duty and the moral clarity of standing firm against hostility.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Arjuna (Pārtha) again takes up his great conch and blows it powerfully. Its thunderous resonance spreads through all directions, sky, and earth, serving as a dramatic announcement of his presence and readiness to confront enemies.
