संजय उवाच । ततो धनंजयं दृष्ट्वा बाणगाण्डीवधारिणम् । पुनरेव महानादं व्यसृजन्त महारथाः॥६-४१-१॥

Saṃjaya said: Then, seeing Dhanaṃjaya bearing his arrows and the Gāṇḍīva bow, the great chariot-warriors once again raised a loud martial acclamation.

english translation

पाण्डवाः सोमकाश्चैव ये चैषामनुयायिनः । दध्मुश्च मुदिताः शङ्खान्वीराः सागरसंभवान्॥६-४१-२॥

The Pāṇḍavas, the Somakas, and their followers—those warriors, exultant in spirit—blew their conches, sacred shells said to have arisen from the ocean.

ततो भेर्यश्च पेश्यश्च क्रकचा गोविषाणिकाः । सहसैवाभ्यहन्यन्त ततः शब्दो महानभूत्॥६-४१-३॥

Then kettledrums and drums, along with other instruments—krakacā and cow-horn trumpets—were struck all at once; from that there arose a mighty roar.

english translation

अथ देवाः सगन्धर्वाः पितरश्च जनेश्वर । सिद्धचारणसंघाश्च समीयुस्ते दिदृक्षया॥६-४१-४॥

Then the gods with the Gandharvas, the Pitṛs (ancestors), and the hosts of Siddhas and Cāraṇas gathered, O lord of men, eager to behold it.

ऋषयश्च महाभागाः पुरस्कृत्य शतक्रतुम् । समीयुस्तत्र सहिता द्रष्टुं तद्वैशसं महत्॥६-४१-५॥

And the blessed seers, setting Śatakratu (Indra) at their head, assembled there together to witness that great calamity.
