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.
“When discipline answers chaos, the answer is never louder. It is just clearer.”
