18.dhrupahdo dhroupadheyaaScha sarvaSaH prthiveepaThe

     soubhadraScha mahaabaahuh Sankhaan dhaDhmuH praThak

                                                                                             prThak

 

Dhrupadha, the sons of Dhroupadhi , and Abhimanyu, son of Subhadhra, -all  blew their conches one by one.

Yudhishtira is  referred as the king, raja, because even though he lost his kingdom he became a chakravarthi by performing rajasooya yaga and conquering all the kings.

 

He is also referred to as kunthiputhra, son of Kunthi , to show that  Nakula and Sahadeva mentioned next are not the sons of Kunthi, being the sons of Madri, co-wife of Kunthi. Though Arjuna and Bheema wre also kunthi puthras they have been mentioned already and hence here the epithet denotes Yudhishtira only.

 

In saying that all blew their conches one by one, prThak prThak,  meaning all the warriors including those mentioned blew their conches respectively.
