Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:

 

Visnuswami

Sridhara Swami's Commentary

The uproarious sound of the Pandavas conch shells being blown caused great

fear to the sons of Dhritarastra. This is what this verse means. How? By its

power, by its power it made the heavens and the earth resound, filling them all

 

with its reverberations.

Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya:

 

Madhvacarya

There is no commentary for this verse.

Sri Vaisnava Sampradaya:

 

Ramanuja

Ramanuja's Commentary

Duryodhana while witnessing the strength of the Pandavas army supported by

the might of Bhima weighed his own armies strength under the command of Bhishma

 

and perceiving the mood of his perceptor Dronacarya, he could understand the

inadequacy in his own troops and the perfection of strength on the Pandavas

side to be victorious and internally this aggrieved him heavily. Bhishma seeing

 

all this gave a roar like a lion and blew a mighty, reverberating blast on his

conchshell which was followed by a tumultous beating of drums, blaring of

horns and blasting of conchshells as if indicative of the victory in order to

cheer up Duryodhana. Immeadiately upon hearing this Lord Krishna and Arjuna

seated

in their majestic chariot capable of conquering all the worlds; both seized

their conchshells and reverberated a sound that shook all the worlds.

Thereafter Bhima, Yudhisthira, Nakula and Sahadeva and the rest of the

maha-rathas of

the Pandava army blew their conchshells and the roar which was heard cleaved

the hearts of Duryodhana and the army of the Kauravas and in their hearts they

felt that the battle was already lost. Thus did Sanjaya narrate to

Dhritarashtra whose only concern was for the success of his son Duryodhana and

the

Kauravas in the battle.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:

 

Nimbaditya

Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary

Another source of fear for Duryodhana is indicated by the description of how

the tumultuous blasts of the mighty warriors of the Pandava army sounding

their conchshells shattered the hearts of Duryodhana's army the Kauravas.

Shattering the heart means the sound created excruciating pain within their

hearts due

to its volatile nature. How was this accomplished? By the violent force

contained within the blasts which reverberating, filled the earth and the sky

with

echoes.
