Droṇa-parva 112: Karṇa–Bhīma Engagement and Duryodhana’s Protective Order
वर्तमाने तथा रौद्रे तस्मिन् वीरवरक्षये । अशृणोत् सहसा पार्थ: पाउ्चजन्यस्य नि:स्वनम्
vartamāne tathā raudre tasmin vīravarakṣaye | aśṛṇot sahasā pārthaḥ pāñcajanyasya niḥsvanam ||
Sañjaya disse: Enquanto aquela batalha terrível—que trazia a destruição dos mais eminentes heróis—rugia sem cessar, Pārtha ouviu de súbito o estrondo ressoante da concha Pāñcajanya. Em meio ao massacre e à confusão, o sinal familiar da concha de Kṛṣṇa cortou o clamor, marcando uma virada decisiva de atenção e firmeza sob o peso moral da guerra.
