Then conchs and kettledrums, tabors and drums and horns, suddenly blared forth, and the clamour became tremendous.

Compiled rendering · Anilbaran Roy

His translation

Then giving joy birth in Duryodhan’s heart the Grandsire, elder of the Kurus, thundered loud his warcry’s lion roar and blew his conchshell’s blare, the man of might. Then conchshell and bugle, trumpet and horn and drum, all suddenly were smitten and blown and a huge and rushing sound arose. Then in their mighty car erect, their car with snowwhite steeds, Mâdhava & the Pandove blew their divine shells, Hrishikesh on Pânchajanya, on Dévadutta, godgiven, Dhanunjoy blew, and on his great shell from far Bengal blew Bhema Wolfbelly, the man of dreadful deeds, and on Anuntavijoy, boundless Conquest, Yudhisthere, the King, even Coonty’s son, and Nacool & Sahodave on Sughosha Far-Sounding and Manipushpaca, Jewel-Flower. And Kâshi’s King, that excellent bowman and Shikhandi, that great fighter and Dhristadyoumna and Virât and Sâtyaqy unconquered, and Drupad and the children of Droupady and Subhadra’s great-armed son, all these from all sides blew each his separate shell, O lord of earth, that the thunder of them tore the hearts of Dhritarashtra’s sons and earth & heaven reechoed with the clamour & the roar. Now as the Ape-bannered, the Pandove, saw the Dhritarashtrians at their warlike posts, so heaved he up his bow and even as the shafts began to fall spake to Hrishikésha this word, O King.
