Again 'yathā mṛgagaṇān siṃhaḥ' — like a lion among herds of deer: Arjuna scatters the army. And Krishna 'pāñcajanyaṃ vyanādayat' sounds the Panchajanya — the Lord's voice proclaims the approach to the goal. It is significant that the breakthrough is accompanied not only by weapons but by the sound of God. The verse teaches that the devotee's path to the goal is led by the voice of the Lord: Krishna's conch sounds ahead, casting down the enemy and proclaiming the inevitable; and wherever the voice of God resounds, all resistance scatters, like a herd before a lion.
