Commentary

(In the meantime) to delight him (Duryodhana) the mighty Grandfather (Pitamah: Bhisma – Commander of Kauravs’ army) roaring aloud like a lion, blew his Conch (Shankh – शङ्ख). Blowing Conch was symbol of Salute for the War. (Shloka 12)

With this many Conches (Shankha), Kettle – Drums (Bherya), Cymbals (Panwa), Double – Drums (Anak) and Trumpets (Gomukha) were sounded together and the tumulus voice of these (musical) instruments resonated everywhere. (Shloka 13)
