Bhagavad Gita 1.16-18 anantavijayaṁ rājā kuntī-putro yudhiṣṭhiraḥ nakulaḥ sahadevaś ca sughoṣa-maṇipuṣpakau kāśyaś ca parameṣv-āsaḥ śikhaṇḍī ca mahā-rathaḥ dhṛṣṭadyumno virāṭaś ca sātyakiś cāparājitaḥ drupado draupadeyāś ca sarvaśaḥ pṛthivī-pate saubhadraś ca mahā-bāhuḥ śaṅkhān dadhmuḥ pṛthak pṛthak King Yudhiṣṭhira, the son of Kuntī, blew his conchshell, the Ananta-vijaya, and Nakula and Sahadeva blew the Sughoṣa and Maṇipuṣpaka. That great archer the King of Kāśī, the great fighter Śikhaṇḍī, Dhṛṣṭadyumna, Virāṭa, the unconquerable Sātyaki, Drupada, the sons of Draupadī, and others, O King, such as the mighty-armed son of Subhadrā, all blew their respective conchshells. Bhagavad Gita 1.19 sa ghoṣo dhārtarāṣṭrāṇāṁ hṛdayāni vyadārayat nabhaś ca pṛthivīṁ caiva tumulo ’bhyanunādayan The blowing of these different conchshells became uproarious. Vibrating both in the sky and on the earth, it shattered the hearts of the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra.
