द्रोणपर्व (अध्याय ११२) — कर्णभीमयोर्युद्धम्, दुर्योधनस्य रक्षणादेशः
Droṇa-parva 112: Karṇa–Bhīma Engagement and Duryodhana’s Protective Order
वर्तमाने तथा रौद्रे तस्मिन् वीरवरक्षये । अशृणोत् सहसा पार्थ: पाउ्चजन्यस्य नि:स्वनम्,बड़े-बड़े वीरोंका संहार करनेवाला वह भयंकर संग्राम चल ही रहा था कि सहसा कुन्तीकुमार युधिष्ठिरने पांचजन्यकी ध्वनि सुनी
vartamāne tathā raudre tasmin vīravarakṣaye | aśṛṇot sahasā pārthaḥ pāñcajanyasya niḥsvanam ||
वर्तमाने तथा रौद्रे तस्मिन् वीरवरक्षये । अशृणोत् सहसा पार्थः पाञ्चजन्यस्य निःस्वनम् ॥
संजय उवाच
Even amid violent conflict and moral strain, clarity can arise through a recognized call to duty and alignment with rightful guidance; the conch-blast symbolizes a decisive summons that steadies intention in the chaos of war.
As the fierce battle continues with heavy hero-slaying, Pārtha suddenly hears the loud blast of Pāñcajanya, Kṛṣṇa’s conch, indicating an important development or rallying signal on the battlefield.
