The incarnates of God Narayan and of the human being Shri Krishna and Arjun respectively — both are divine; their chariot and horses are also unearthly. After slaying the demon named Panchjana who lived in the ocean Shri Krishna had taken out this Panchjanya from his stomach. This very same conch was blown by Shri Krishna indicating to the other side to become alert. Arjun was gifted the conch at the time of the war with demons Nivatakka, Vach, etc. by the King of the gods, Lord Indra. As this conch was given by Devraj (King of the Gods) this conch was called Devadatta. Bhim himself was heavy and bulky; his deeds similarly were terrible because he had slain effortlessly the demons Hidamba, Bak, Kichak, etc. and his conch was also massive, the Paundra. In a similar manner, the son of Kunti Yudhishtara gave the indication of such a triumph which was unending–by blowing the conch Anantvijay. Similarly, the sons of Madri, Nakul and Sahdev, by blowing their conches Sughosh and Manipushpak made their intentions clear.
