The fearful arrows of Drupada fell on all sides and thousands of conches, trumpets and drums began to be sounded by the Panchalas in their houses. O great king, a terrible roar, like that of the lion, rose from the mighty Panchalas. The great sound of the twang of their bow-strings seemed to rend the very sky.
दुपदस्य शरा घोरा विचेरुः सर्वतो दिशम्। ततः शङ्खाश्च भेर्यश्च मृदङ्गाश्च सहस्रशः॥ प्रावाद्यन्त महाराज पाञ्चालानां निवेशने। सिंहनादश्च संजज्ञे पाञ्चालानां महात्मनाम्॥
