Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
तत्पश्चात् श्वेत अश्वों से युक्त विशाल रथ में बैठे श्रीकृष्ण (माधव) और अर्जुन (पाण्डव) ने भी अपने-अपने दिव्य शङ्ख बजाए।
English Translation
Then, seated in a great chariot yoked with white horses, Madhava (Krishna) and Pandava (Arjuna) blew their divine conch shells.
Commentary (टीका)
The Pandava response is majestic — Krishna and Arjuna seated on a divine chariot drawn by white horses. The whiteness symbolizes purity and dharma. Their divine conches represent the call of righteousness that will ultimately prevail over the forces of adharma.
