ततः प्रतिज्ञां समयं च तस्मै जनार्दनः प्रीतमना निशम्य । स्थितः प्रिये कौरवसत्तमस्य रथं सचक्रः पुनरारुरोह॥६-५५-१०१॥
Then Janārdana, hearing that vow and that compact with a pleased mind, stood firm in what was dear to the best of the Kurus, and again mounted the chariot together with its wheel.

स तानभीषून्पुनराददानः प्रगृह्य शङ्खं द्विषतां निहन्ता । विनादयामास ततो दिशश्च स पाञ्चजन्यस्य रवेण शौरिः॥६-५५-१०२॥
Taking up the reins again and grasping the conch, Śauri—the subduer of adversaries—then filled the directions with sound by the roar of Pāñcajanya.

व्याविद्धनिष्काङ्गदकुण्डलं तं रजोविकीर्णाञ्चितपक्ष्मनेत्रम् । विशुद्धदंष्ट्रं प्रगृहीतशङ्खं विचुक्रुशुः प्रेक्ष्य कुरुप्रवीराः॥६-५५-१०३॥

गाण्डीवघोषः स्तनयित्नुकल्पो जगाम पार्थस्य नभो दिशश्च । जग्मुश्च बाणा विमलाः प्रसन्नाः सर्वा दिशः पाण्डवचापमुक्ताः॥६-५५-१०५॥
The roar of Pārtha’s Gāṇḍīva, like thunder, spread through the sky and to every direction. And the arrows—clear and true-aimed—released from the Pāṇḍava’s bow sped into every quarter.
