संजय उवाच
ततो धनंजयं दृष्ट्वा बाणगाण्डीवधारिणम् ॥
पुनर् एव महानादं व्यसृजन्त महारथाः ॥
पाण्डवाः सोमकाश् चैव ये चैषाम् अनुयायिनः ॥
दध्मुश् च मुदिताः शङ्खान् वीराः सागरसंभवान् ॥
ततो भेर्यश् च पेश्यश् च क्रकचा गोविषाणिकाः ॥
सहसैवाभ्यहन्यन्त ततः शब्दो महान् अभूत् ॥
अथ देवाः सगन्धर्वाः पितरश् च जनेश्वर ॥
सिद्धचारणसंघाश् च समीयुस् ते दिदृक्षया ॥
ऋषयश् च महाभागाः पुरस्कृत्य शतक्रतुम् ॥
समीयुस् तत्र सहिता द्रष्टुं तद् वैशसं महत् ॥
saṃjaya uvāca
tato dhanaṃjayaṃ dṛṣṭvā bāṇagāṇḍīvadhāriṇam ||
punar eva mahānādaṃ vyasṛjanta mahārathāḥ ||
pāṇḍavāḥ somakāś caiva ye caiṣām anuyāyinaḥ ||
dadhmuś ca muditāḥ śaṅkhān vīrāḥ sāgarasaṃbhavān ||
tato bheryaś ca peśyaś ca krakacā goviṣāṇikāḥ ||
sahasaivābhyahanyanta tataḥ śabdo mahān abhūt ||
atha devāḥ sagandharvāḥ pitaraś ca janeśvara ||
siddhacāraṇasaṃghāś ca samīyus te didṛkṣayā ||
ṛṣayaś ca mahābhāgāḥ puraskṛtya śatakratum ||
samīyus tatra sahitā draṣṭuṃ tad vaiśasaṃ mahat ||
Sanjaya said: "Then, having seen Dhananjaya with his arrows and Gandiva, the great charioteers again let out a mighty roar. The Pandavas, the Somakas, and all their followers joyfully blew their conches, born of the ocean. Then suddenly drums, kettledrums, rattles, and bull-horns sounded, and a great noise arose. Then the gods with the gandharvas, the ancestors, and the hosts of siddhas and charanas gathered, wishing to see this. The great seers too, following Indra, assembled there to witness this vast slaughter."
