ततस् ते तावकाः सर्वे हृष्टा युद्धाय भारत ॥
दध्मुः शङ्खान् मुदा युक्ताः सिंहनादांश् च नादयन् ॥
तेषां श्रुत्वा तु हृष्टानां कुरुवृद्धः पितामहः ॥
सिंहनादं विनद्योच्चैः शङ्खं दध्मौ प्रतापवान् ॥

"Then all your warriors, roused for battle, O Bharata, joyfully blew their conches and raised lion-roars. Hearing their rejoicing, the elder of the Kurus, the grandsire, mighty Bhishma, roared loudly like a lion and blew his conch. Then conches, bheris, various trumpets and great drums were struck from every side, and the sound became deafening."

The sound of conches here is not merely a military signal — it is an attempt to lift the heart of the army in the face of fear. Bhishma, with his lion-roar, once again sets the tone for the whole side of Kuru.
