King Yudhiṣṭhira, the eldest Pāṇḍava and the embodiment of Dharma, blows his conch named ‘Anantavijaya’, which means endless victory. The name itself is an omen of the war’s outcome. His twin brothers, Nakula and Sahadeva, blow their conchs named ‘Sughoṣa’ and ‘Maṇipuṣpaka’. The listing of these specific conchs serves a psychological and spiritual purpose. In ancient warfare, the sound of a famous warrior’s conch was enough to dispirit the enemy soldiers, who would recognize the specific hero present on the field. By announcing their presence one by one, the Pāṇḍavas are systematically asserting their dominance and readiness before a single arrow is fired. They are showing that every brother is united and prepared to fight for the cause of justice.
