Chapter 1: Arjuna's Dilemmaअर्जुनविषादयोग
1:16
“King Yudhishthira, the son of Kunti, blew his conchshell Anantavijaya, and Nakula and Sahadeva blew the Sughosha and Manipushpaka.”
Sanskrit
अनन्तविजयं राजा कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः | नकुलः सहदेवश्च सुघोषमणिपुष्पकौ ||
Transliteration
anantavijayaṁ rājā kuntī-putro yudhiṣṭhiraḥ nakulaḥ sahadevaś ca sughoṣa-maṇipuṣpakau
Commentary
Yudhishthira's conchshell Anantavijaya means 'endless victory,' reflecting his righteous claim. The twins' conchshells add their voices to the Pandava response.
