THE BHAGAVAD-GITA.
ततः श्वेतैर्हयैर्युक्ते महति स्यन्दने स्थितौ ।
माधवः पाण्डवश्चैव दिव्यौ शङ्खौ प्रदध्मतुः ॥ १४ ॥
Then, stationed in their great war-chariot, yoked to white horses, Mâdhava[1] and the son of Pându[2] blew their divine conches. (14)
पाञ्चजन्यं हृषीकेशो देवदत्तं धनञ्जयः ।
पौण्ड्रं दध्मौ महाशङ्खं भीमकर्मा वृकोदरः ॥ १५ ॥
Pânchajanya by Hrishîkesha, and Devadatta by Dhananjaya.[3] Vrikodara[4] of terrible deeds blew his mighty conch, Paundra; (15)
अनन्तविजयं राजा कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ।
नकुलः सहदेवश्च सुघोषमणिपुष्पकौ ॥ १६ ॥
- ↑ Shri Krishna.
- ↑ Arjuna.
- ↑ Pânchajanya, Shri Krishna's conch, was made from the bones of the giant Panchajana, slain by him. The title Hrishîkesha is "Lord of the senses." Dhananjaya, the "conqueror of wealth," is a title often given to Arjuna, whose conch is the "God-given."
- ↑ Bhîma; the meaning of the name of his conch is doubtful.
