[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 1.18 · spoken by Abhimanyu ]
The last warrior to blow his shankha today was only 16. Do you know what happens to him?
And the last to answer — King Drupad of Panchal. The five sons of Draupadi. And the mighty-armed Abhimanyu, Arjun's son with Subhadra. Each one blew his shankha separately. The Pandav side had finished speaking.
SANSKRIT
द्रुपदो द्रौपदेयाश्च सर्वशः पृथिवीपते । सौभद्रश्च महाबाहुः शङ्खान्दध्मुः पृथक्पृथक् ॥१-१८॥
KRISHNA’S LINE
“When discipline answers chaos, the answer is never louder. It is just clearer.”
