Explanation
Sanjaya reports the effect of the Pandava conches. The Kaurava noise earlier in the chapter was simply loud, but this sound is said to pierce the hearts of Dhritarashtra's sons, echoing through earth and sky. The contrast is pointed, and Sanjaya says it to the very father of those sons. Many readers see in it a hint of the outcome: the side that began with anxious counting is now shaken, while the Pandavas sound with confidence. The verse closes the description of the two armies preparing to fight.
