tasya sañjanayan harṣhaṁ kuru-vṛiddhaḥ pitāmahaḥ siṁha-nādaṁ vinadyochchaiḥ śhaṅkhaṁ dadhmau pratāpavān
हिंदी अर्थ
भीष्म पितामह को कुरुवंश का बुजुर्ग सुनकर खुशी हुई और उन्होंने जोर से सिंह जैसी गर्जना करते हुए शंख बजाया। इस शंख की आवाज से पूरे युद्ध क्षेत्र में गूंज गई और कौरवों का जोश बढ़ गया।
Word by Word
Bhishma, the embodiment of dharma and kingly grace, sounds the conch—not in aggression, but as a sacred declaration that righteousness must now meet its test. This is the moment when duty calls the warrior to his essential nature, when the universe itself seems to hold its breath.
In our modern lives, this same call comes when we must step into our authentic power: not through force or ego, but through the clarity that our dharma—our true work—is neither optional nor deferrable.
