In our previous post we saw Duryodhana exhorting his troops to surround their Commander in Chief, the Grandsire Bhishma, since he was the most important person in their army. We also interpreted this to mean that once we are able to focus on what really matters in life, the other things automatically fall in place. We now see the description of some action in the battlefield..
tasya sanjanayan harsam kuru-vrddhah pitamahah
simha-nadam vinadyoccaih sankham dadhmau pratapavan
“Then Bhishma, the great valiant grandsire of the Kuru dynasty, blew his conchshell very loudly, making a sound like the roar of a lion, increasing Duryodhana’s cheerfulness.”
