In this verse, Sanjaya describes the sounds that arose as Arjuna prepared to engage in battle on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. At the beginning of the war, all the armies unitedly sounded conch shells, kettledrums, flutes, trumpets, and horns at the same time. This great sound signifies the commencement of the battle and provides enthusiasm to both sides. Each warrior expresses their courage and excitement individually. That sound announces the principles of war.

This verse can be seen as a call for everyone to begin their struggles in life. When fate calls upon each individual, they must step forward courageously on a path filled with challenges. Vedanta teaches us that in every struggle of life, we must act with our minds focused on the Divine. Actions driven not by selfishness, but by Dharma, are the true keys to our success. Every action should be performed as a sacrifice, with devotion, which is the subtle lesson of Vedanta.

In today's life, this verse can be applicable in various aspects. The effort for family welfare and well-being can be seen as a struggle, but it must be done with enthusiasm. One should maintain a calm mind while handling the pressures of work and earning money. Longevity and health signify connecting with our divine feelings. The pressures from the surrounding community and social media can be overwhelming, but we must always preserve our peace of mind. Parental responsibilities and economic pressures like loans/EMIs should be managed with care and patience. We should plan our life goals with a long-term vision. Thus, facing each day as a new struggle, but peacefully, is the secret to our successful life.
