Commentary: Thinking that he might be thought to have made a slight by praising Bhishma’s prowess, he tried to improve the situation on his own. Even though he was an old man, he had to think about each one separately. He thought that his complete dedication was the only way to prevent the enemy from breaking through to his main position. He thought that the victory depended on the presence of Bhishma. In the war, Bhishma had faith in God and Drona. Because he knew that the two soldiers, who were forced to stand naked in the assembly, would seek justice in their helpless state. He hoped that even though he knew that the two soldiers had poison, they would completely abandon the dice game

Interpretation
He blew his conch shell loudly, rejoicing, making a sound like the roar of a lion.
Explanation: The old Kuru could understand the feelings in the heart of his grandson Duryodhana. Out of his natural compassion for him, he tried to please him by blowing his conch shell as loudly as a lion could, befitting his position. Through the conch shell, Bhishma indirectly informed the worried Duryodhana that they had no chance of victory in the war because the god Krishna was in the opposition. However, it was his duty to fight. He would not shy away from any difficulty in that regard.
Thus, the conch shell is formed, and the face of the conch shell is formed. Sahasaivabhyahanyanta sa shabdastumulokabhavat ||
