Following the sound of Bhishma's conch
shell, many instruments like conches, drums, horns were played simultaneously
causing tumultuous sound of war.

"Then Madhava (Lord Krishna) and Arjuna
(one of the Pandavas) who were seated in their great chariot yoked to white
horses blew their celestial conches."
Madhava and Pandava are seated in
the great chariot, the charioteer is Lord Krishna himself, and the color of the
horses is white signifying purity, flawlessness. There is also an analogy that
horses are like thoughts in the mind and the controller is the charioteer - the
Lord. By signifying that the conches of Arjuna and Krishna are divine the
author is giving us an indication about the unfolding of the divine
interactions.
