Mahabharata 7.116.61 — Drona Parva, Adhyaya 116, Shloka 61
Śaineya’s Breakthrough and Reunion with Arjuna (शैनेयस्य समागमः)
ततो भीमस्टत्रिभिर्विंद्ध्वा कृतवर्माणमाशुगै: । शड्खं दध्मौ महाबाहुर्हर्षयन् सर्वपाण्डवान्,तदनन्तर महाबाहु भीमने तीन बाणोंद्वारा कृतवर्माको घायल करके समस्त पाण्डवोंका हर्ष बढ़ाते हुए शंख बजाया
tato bhīmas tribhir viddhvā kṛtavarmāṇam āśugaiḥ | śaṅkhaṃ dadhmau mahābāhur harṣayan sarvapāṇḍavān ||
ତେବେ ମହାବାହୁ ଭୀମ ତୀବ୍ର ତିନିଟି ବାଣରେ କୃତବର୍ମାକୁ ବିଦ୍ଧ କରି, ସମସ୍ତ ପାଣ୍ଡବଙ୍କ ହର୍ଷ ବଢ଼ାଇ ଶଙ୍ଖନାଦ କଲେ।

Educational Q&A
In a dharma-framed war narrative, courage is not only physical prowess but also the responsibility to steady and uplift one’s allies; Bhīma’s conch-blast functions as ethical leadership through morale and resolve.
Bhīma wounds Kṛtavarmā with three swift arrows and then blows his conch to encourage and hearten the entire Pāṇḍava side, marking a moment of advantage and rallying in the battle.
