Shloka 61
वित्रस्ताश्ना भवन् सर्वे कौरवा राजसत्तम | शड्खशब्देन तेनाथ माधवस्यार्जुनस्य च,नृपश्रेष्ठ! श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुनकी उस शंखध्वनिसे समस्त कौरव संत्रस्त हो उठे
vitrastāś ca bhavan sarve kauravā rājasattama | śaṅkhaśabdena tenātha mādhavasyārjunasya ca ||
Wika ni Śalya: “O pinakamainam sa mga hari, ang lahat ng Kaurava ay nayanig sa pangamba dahil sa malakas na tunog ng kabibe—na pinatunog nina Mādhava (Kṛṣṇa) at Arjuna. Yaon ang hudyat ng kanilang paninindigan at pagkakaisa; yumanig ito sa hukbong kalaban at ipinakita kung paanong ang takot ay kumakalat kapag hinaharap ang matatag na layunin sa digmaan.”
शल्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
In a dharmic conflict, inner steadiness and united resolve can influence the battlefield even before weapons clash; fear often arises in those who sense the opponent’s clarity, confidence, and righteous momentum.
Śalya reports that the Kaurava forces became frightened upon hearing the powerful conch-blast sounded by Kṛṣṇa (Mādhava) and Arjuna—an audible proclamation of the Pāṇḍava side’s readiness and determination.
