Bhagavad Gita 1.18
The last Pandava warriors sound their conches, one after another.
द्रुपदो द्रौपदेयाश्च सर्वशः पृथिवीपते।
सौभद्रश्च महाबाहुः शङ्खान्दध्मुः पृथक्पृथक्॥
drupado draupadeyāś ca sarvaśaḥ pṛthivī-pate
saubhadraś ca mahā-bāhuḥ śaṅkhān dadhmuḥ pṛthak pṛthak
Translation
Drupada, the sons of Draupadi, and the mighty-armed son of Subhadra, O lord of the earth, all blew their own conches, one after another.
Hindi
हे पृथ्वीपति, द्रुपद, द्रौपदी के पुत्र और महाबाहु सुभद्रापुत्र, सबने अलग-अलग अपने शंख बजाए।
Commentary
Sanjaya addresses Dhritarashtra as "lord of the earth", a respectful title that also reminds the king whose throne is at stake. The last of the Pandava warriors sound their conches, closing the opening salute. The effect on the Kaurava side is described in 1.19.
