Explication

Each hero's conch has its own name, as famous weapons did in epic tradition. Krishna, called Hrishikesha, master of the senses, blows Panchajanya, won from a sea demon named Panchajana. Arjuna, called Dhananjaya, winner of wealth, blows Devadatta, given by the gods. Bhima, called Vrikodara, wolf-bellied, for his huge appetite and strength, blows Paundra. The epithet Hrishikesha is significant in a poem about mastering the mind and senses. The naming of conches gives the Pandava response a personal and heroic character.
