His glorious grandsire, the oldest of the Kauravas, roared like a lion to cheer Duryodhana and blew his conch.
A Reading - Rantideb
Bhishma's conch shell roar is the system 'booting up.' It is a decisive, overwhelming signal designed to cut through Duryodhana's anxiety and initiate the sequence of events.
