ततस्ते तावकाः सर्वे हृष्टा युद्धाय भारत । दध्मुः शङ्खान्मुदा युक्ताः सिंहनादांश्च नादयन्॥६-४७-२१॥

Then all those on your side, O Bhārata, thrilled for battle, joyfully blew their conches and raised acclamations like the roar of lions.

Hearing their jubilant cries, the grandsire, eldest of the Kurus, uttered a loud lion-like acclamation and, mighty in prowess, blew his conch.

Thereupon, from the opposing host, conches, kettle-drums, tabors, and many kinds of percussion were sounded; and that uproar swelled into a tumult.
