Shloka 70
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 ||
Vaiśampāyana berkata: Mendengar deru dalam sangkakala Pāñcajanya—bagaikan dentuman guruh kilat—setiap bahagian tentera di segenap penjuru dipenuhi kegembiraan. Bunyi itu meneguhkan azam mereka dan menyalakan keberanian bersama ketika saat penentu perang semakin mendekat.

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.
