"The son of Kunti, king Yudhishtira
blew his conch named Anantavijaya where as Nakula and Sahadeva blew Sughosha
and Manipushpaka respectively."
Of the five Pandavas the two got mentioned in
the previous shloka. In this one the author mentions the other three Pandavas.
Pandu had two wives Kunti and Madri. Yudhishtira, Bhima and Arjuna were sons of
Kunti where as Nakula and Sahadeva were the children of Madri. After the death
of king Pandu, Madri ends her life in his pyre and Kunti looks after all the
five Pandavas (without any discrimination). Thus the author mentions here
Yudhishtira as the son of Kunti and not the same about Nakula and Sahadeva.
Yudhishtiras conch is named as Anantavijaya meaning unending victory. The
conches of Nakula and Sahadeva were Sughosha and Manipushpaka respectively.
