कर्णपुत्रवधः (The Fall of Vṛṣasena) — Karṇa Parva, Adhyāya 62
श्रूयते चापघोषो<यं प्रावृषीवाम्बुदस्य ह । “श्रीकृष्ण और अर्जुन शंख बजा रहे हैं, जिनका यह महान् शब्द सुनायी पड़ता है। वर्षाकालके मेघकी गर्जनाके समान उनके धनुषका यह गम्भीर घोष कानोंमें पड़ रहा है
śrūyate cāpaghoṣo ’yaṃ prāvṛṣīvāmbudasya ha
三阇耶说道:“听啊,此轰然之声——深沉滚荡,宛如季雨时节雨云的雷吼。那是圣克里希那与阿周那吹响海螺所发出的雄浑巨响,是在战争沉重的道义之下,宣示决心与正法之备的号令。”

The verse uses sound as moral symbolism: the conch-roar of Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna signifies steadfastness and righteous intent (dharma) in the face of a grave conflict, reminding the listener that inner resolve and ethical alignment are proclaimed through action.
Sañjaya describes a powerful, thunder-like reverberation on the battlefield—identified (in the given context) as the great sound produced by Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna blowing their conches, announcing their presence and readiness for battle.
