When the great-minded son of Dhritarashtra saw the tip of the Parthas' banner, he, together with all the kings, arrayed himself in battle order against the Pandavas. Duryodhana stood amid a thousand elephants, surrounded by his brothers, while a white royal umbrella was held over his head. Seeing him, all the soldiers of the Pandavas rejoiced: they blew their great conches and struck their drums by the thousands. Then the Pandavas, seeing their own jubilant army, were themselves heartened; with them was the mighty Vasudeva. After this, Krishna and Arjuna, two tigers among men, standing on their chariot and cheering on the warriors, blew their divine conches. Hearing the thunder of Panchajanya and Devadatta, the enemy's warriors, together with their mounts, voided dung and urine from fear. As other beasts tremble on hearing the roar of a lion, so then did the army of Dhritarashtra's sons fall into terror.

The sound of the conches here becomes more than a military signal. Panchajanya and Devadatta reveal the presence of Krishna and Arjuna as the spiritual center of the Pandava army. The fear of the Kauravas is described bodily and starkly: before dharma upheld by the Lord, Duryodhana's outward might loses its inner ground.
