[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 1.16 · spoken by Yudhishthir ]
Yudhishthir named his shankha 'Endless Victory'. What did he know?
Yudhishthir — the eldest, the king — blew Anantavijay. Nakul blew Sughosh. Sahdev blew Manipushpak. Five brothers. Five named shankhas. Each one a mirror of the man holding it.
SANSKRIT
अनन्तविजयं राजा कुन्तीपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः । नकुलः सहदेवश्च सुघोषमणिपुष्पकौ ॥१-१६॥
हिंदी
फिर राजा युधिष्ठिर ने अनन्तविजय शंख बजाया, जिसका अर्थ है अन्तहीन विजय। नकुल ने सुघोष, मधुर ध्वनि। और सहदेव ने मणिपुष्पक, रत्न-पुष्प, शंख बजाया।
KRISHNA’S LINE
“Victory built on dharma has no expiry date.”
