भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ६२: वासुदेवमहात्म्यप्रशंसा (देव–ब्रह्मसंवादः)
पाण्डवा हि ततो राजन श्रुत्वा तं निनदं महत् । दध्मु: शड्खांश्न भेरीश्व मुरजांश्वाप्पनादयन्
pāṇḍavā hi tato rājan śrutvā taṃ ninadaṃ mahat | dadhmuḥ śaṅkhāṃś ca bherīś ca murajāṃś cāpy apānādayan ||
សញ្ជ័យបាននិយាយថា៖ បន្ទាប់មក ឱព្រះមហាក្សត្រ ពណ្ឌវទាំងឡាយបានឮសំឡេងរំពងដ៏ខ្លាំងនោះ ក៏ផ្លុំស័ង្ខ និងធ្វើឲ្យស្គរ និងមុរាជាសូរឡើងដែរ។
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights disciplined readiness: when confronted by an opposing show of force, the Pāṇḍavas respond in unity and steadiness, signaling commitment to their duty (dharma) rather than panic or hesitation.
After hearing a great tumult from the opposing side, the Pāṇḍavas sound their conches and drums, creating a martial counter-signal that the armies are fully assembled and the battle is about to commence.
