📜 Translation English

In this series of the blowing of the conches the excellent archerer Kashiraj, valiant commander Shikhandi and Drishtduyam, King Virat, undefeated Satyaki, King Drupad, five sons of Draupadi, valiant son of Draupadi Abhimanyu, O King, blew their conches from all sides.

💬 Commentary English

Just see the difference in the sentiments of Sanjay. He takes the name of only Bhishma from the side of the Kauravas and then maintains silence. But from the Pandava side all five Pandavas, Abhimanyu, five sons of Draupadi and several other kings have been named. Sanjay is a knower of righteousness and looks to be mentally also inclined towards righteousness.

Now Sanjay describes the reaction of the Kauravas to the blowing of the conches by the Pandavas.
