Penjelasan

Following Bhishma's signal, the whole Kaurava army takes up the sound. Sanjaya lists the instruments of war: conches, kettledrums, small drums, large drums and cow-horn trumpets, all struck at once. The word tumula describes a confused, overwhelming roar. The verse builds the atmosphere of the battlefield, loud and charged, before the narrative turns to the Pandava side. It also sets a contrast with the silence and inner struggle that will soon take hold of Arjuna in the middle of this noise.
