O descendant of Bharata, the blowing of conchs, the sounds of drums, the neighing of horses, the clatter of car-wheels, the roaring of rushing elephants and the shouts of heroes, clapping of armpits and the cries of the warriors made everywhere a tremendous noise.
शङ्खदुन्दुभिशौषैश्च सिंहनादैश्च भारत। हयहेषितनादैश्च रथनेमिस्वनैस्तथा।॥ गजानां बृहतां चैव योधानां चापि गर्जताम्। क्ष्वेलितास्फोटितोत्क्रुष्टैस्तुमुलं सर्वतोऽभवत्॥
