Translation

Then Bhīṣma, the great valiant grandsire of the Kuru dynasty, the grandfather of the fighters, blew his conchshell very loudly, making a sound like the roar of a lion, giving Duryodhana joy.

Seejärel võttis Bhīṣma, Kuru dünastia vägilaslik esiisa, võitlejate vanaisa, oma merikarbi ja puhus seda väga valjult. Ta tõi kuuldavale lõvi möirge sarnase heli, mille üle Duryodhana väga rõõmustas.

Purport

The grandsire of the Kuru dynasty could understand the inner meaning of the heart of his grandson Duryodhana, and out of his natural compassion for him he tried to cheer him by blowing his conchshell very loudly, befitting his position as a lion. Indirectly, by the symbolism of the conchshell, he informed his depressed grandson Duryodhana that he had no chance of victory in the battle, because the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa was on the other side. But still, it was his duty to conduct the fight, and no pains would be spared in that connection.

Kuru dünastia esiisa mõistis väga hästi oma lapselapse Duryodhana südame sisemist loomust ning loomupärasest kaastundest püüdis ta teda rõõmustada, puhudes väga valjult oma merikarpi, nagu see oli kohane lõvi võimu omavale vägilasele. Kaudselt teatas ta aga merikarbi sümboli läbi oma lapselaps Duryodhanale, et viimasel polnud selles lahingus mingit võidu lootust, sest Kõigekõrgem Jumal Kṛṣṇa asus vastaspoolel. Kuid ometigi oli tema kohuseks lahingut juhtida ning selles suhtes ei lubanud ta endale mingeid järeleandmisi.
