Translation
The tumultuous sound rent the hearts of Dhritarashtra's party, reverberating through both heaven and earth.
Hindi translation
पाण्डव-सेना के शंखों के उस भयंकर शब्द ने आकाश और पृथ्वी को भी गुँजाते हुए अन्यायपूर्वक राज्य हड़पनेवाले दुर्योधन आदि के हृदय विदीर्ण कर दिये।
Meaning
When Bhīṣma and the others on the side of Duryodhana blew their respective conchshells, there was no heart-breaking on the part of the Pāṇḍavas. Such occurrences are not mentioned, but in this particular verse it is mentioned that the hearts of the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra were shattered by the sounds vibrated by the Pāṇḍavas’ party. This is due to the Pāṇḍavas and their confidence in Lord Kṛṣṇa. One who takes shelter of the Supreme Lord has nothing to fear, even in the midst of the greatest calamity.
