त॑ श्रुत्वा निनदं घोरं तावकानां समुत्थितम् | प्रदध्मतु: शड्खवरौ वासुदेवधनंजयौ,आपके सैनिकोंद्वारा किये हुए उस भयंकर कोलाहलको सुनकर श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुनने अपने श्रेष्ठ शंखोंको बजाया
taṁ śrutvā ninadaṁ ghoraṁ tāvakānāṁ samutthitam | pradadhmatuḥ śaṅkhavarau vāsudeva-dhanañjayau ||
तं श्रुत्वा निनदं घोरं तावकानां समुत्थितम् । प्रदध्मतुः शङ्खवरौ वासुदेवधनञ्जयौ ॥
