भीमसेन–कर्णयुद्धवर्णनम्
Description of the Bhīmasena–Karṇa Engagement
सर्वशब्दानतिक्रम्य पूरयामास रोदसी । इसी प्रकार भगवान् श्रीकृष्णके बजाये हुए पांचजन्यने भी सम्पूर्ण शब्दोंको दबाकर अपनी ध्वनिसे पृथ्वी और आकाशको भर दिया

सर्वशब्दानतिक्रम्य पूरयामास रोदसी। एवं भगवता श्रीकृष्णेन पाञ्चजन्यः शङ्खो निनादितः सर्वान् शब्दान् अभिभूय स्वनिनादेन पृथिवीं दिवं च पूरयामास।

The verse highlights how a divinely charged signal can dominate confusion and fear: Kṛṣṇa’s conch-call symbolizes moral resolve and leadership that steadies one’s own side and unsettles adharma-driven opposition, reminding listeners that inner clarity and righteous purpose can rise above the noise of conflict.
Sañjaya describes an overwhelming battle-sound that fills earth and heaven; specifically, he notes that Kṛṣṇa’s Pañcajanya conch, when blown, drowns out all other sounds and reverberates across the worlds, functioning as a powerful martial proclamation and psychological turning point.
