Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the dharmic posture of steadfastness in a righteous duty: public, disciplined resolve (signaled by the conch) strengthens one’s own side and ethically frames the coming action as deliberate responsibility rather than uncontrolled violence.
Kṛṣṇa (Garuḍadhvaja) and Arjuna (Kapidhvaja), exhilarated and confident, take two splendid conches—snow-white, gold-netted, and loud—kiss them, and blow them simultaneously, a formal battle-signal meant to hearten allies and intimidate enemies.
