To bring joy to DURYODHANA’s heart, the great grandsire BHISMA, the oldest and most famous of the KAURAVAS, roared loudly like a lion (a battle-cry), and blew his conch to signal the army to advance towards the enemy. |11|
Duryodhana instructed his army :
Now all of you quickly assume your proper positions for battle, your main goal being to protect and fight alongside BHISMA, your leader, by all means. |12|
Tremendous noise followed. Conches, kettle-drums, tabors, and trumpets and cowhorns blared across the battlefield. |13|
MADHAVA (Lord Krishna) and PANDAVA were seated in their magnificent chariote attached to white horses and they blew gracefully their divine conches. |14|
