To him, full of tears, hissing like a black serpent, the king, his face faded, spoke this word to Bhimasena: "As the blast of the conch Panchajanya is heard, driven forth by Vasudeva, enraged and glorious — if that one [Arjuna] is slain, surely Janardana himself is fighting, he by whose valor, the mighty one, the Pandavas live."

Yudhishthira reads a troubling message in the sound of Panchajanya: if Krishna Himself has taken up the conch and the fight, then Arjuna is in the direst peril. It is telling that the Lord is "yasya vīryam upajīvanti pāṇḍavāḥ" — He by whose might the Pandavas live. The verse teaches that devotees live by the Lord's strength, not their own: all their valor rests upon Him, and where He Himself enters the battle, there their fate is decided.
