Verse 1-14

तत: श्वेतैर्हयैर्युक्ते महति स्यन्दने स्थितौ |

माधव: पाण्डवश्चैव दिव्यौ शङ्खौ प्रदध्मतु: || 14 ||


"On the other side, both Lord Krishna and Arjuna, stationed on a grand chariot yoked with white horses, blew their divine conch shells."


Commentary

The focus shifts to Lord Krishna and Arjuna, who are standing on a magnificent chariot positioned on the other side of the battlefield. The chariot is described as adorned with white horses, symbolizing purity and strength. As the Pandavas prepare for battle, Lord Krishna and Arjuna blow their respective divine conch shells. Blowing the conch shells was a significant ritual before the commencement of a battle. This verse marks a pivotal moment as Lord Krishna and Arjuna, representing divinity and righteousness, respectively, make their presence known and prepare to engage in the forthcoming battle.
