तस्य संजनयन्हर्षं कुरुवृद्धः पितामहः।
सिंहनादं विनद्योच्चैः शङ्खं दध्मौ प्रतापवान्।।1.12।।
।।1.12।।उस समय कौरवों में वृद्ध प्रतापी पितामह भीष्म ने उस (दुर्योधन) के हृदय में हर्ष उत्पन्न करते हुये उच्च स्वर में गरज कर शंखध्वनि की।
Madhvacarya has no commentary so we present Baladeva Vidyabhusanas. Bhishma become elated hearing the praises given him by Duryodhana. Thus to eliminate the fear he knew Duryodhana was concealing in his heart he roared like a lion, simha-nadam means roaring like a lion and then blew a thunderous blast on his conchshell. By only sounding a blast on his conch shell without speaking Bhishma signified that true to ksatriya or warrior code of warfare he would fight until death.
