Translation

Freed from them, the chariot shone like a cloud driven by the wind. Then the protectors of Jayadratha, together with their followers, were shaken; and these guardians of the Sindhu king, suddenly seeing Partha, raised cries of many kinds, making the earth tremble. A fierce whistling roar of arrows, mingled with the blare of conches, they sent forth, great-souled as they were, along with lion-roars. Hearing that terrible roar arise from your men, Vasudeva and Dhananjaya then blew their conches.
