Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Saṃjaya Dialogue: Duryodhana’s Entry into the Lake
भरतनन्दन! रथसे शकुनिको गिराकर समरांगणमें श्रीकृष्णसहित समस्त पाण्डव अत्यन्त हर्षमें भरकर सैनिकोंका हर्ष बढ़ाते हुए प्रसन्नतापूर्वक शंखनाद करने लगे ।।
bharatanandana! rathase śakuniko girākara samarāṅgaṇe śrīkṛṣṇasahitaḥ samasta-pāṇḍavā atyanta-harṣeṇa bharitāḥ sainikānāṃ harṣaṃ vardhayantaḥ prasannatayā śaṅkhanādaṃ cakruḥ || taṃ cāpi sarve pratipūjayantaḥ dṛṣṭvā bravāṇāḥ sahadevam ājau | diṣṭyā hato naikṛtiko mahātmā sahātmajo vīra raṇe tvayeti ||
三阇耶说道：“噢，婆罗多的后裔！当沙昆尼在战场上被从战车上击落之时，般度五子——与圣克里希那同在——都充满了极大的欢喜。他们振奋军心、鼓舞士气，欣然吹响海螺。众人见到萨诃提婆在阵中奋战，皆向他致敬并说道：‘真是吉祥！那心怀邪恶的沙昆尼，连同其子，已被你在战斗中诛杀，噢，勇士！’”

Educational Q&A
The verse frames the fall of a deceit-driven antagonist as a restoration of moral order in war: treachery (naikṛtika) meets its consequence, while righteous resolve is publicly affirmed through communal honor and the uplifting of collective morale.
After Shakuni is struck down from his chariot and killed (with his son), the Pandavas—alongside Krishna—joyfully blow conches to rally the army. The warriors then congratulate and honor Sahadeva, acknowledging him as the slayer of Shakuni in the battle.
