Rudra Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Visnuswami
Sridhara Swami's Commentary

Now the names of the conch shells sounded by the Supreme Lord Krishna, Arjuna and Bhima are being described. The names Dhananjaya is used for Arjuna and means winner of wealth. The name Vikroda is used for Bhima and can mean he of terrible deeds or he whose appetite is voracious just like a wolfs.

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya:


Nimbaditya
Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary

In order to subtly convey the superiority of the Pandavas, Sanjaya expresses in this verse beginning with the word pancajanyam which is the name of Lord Krishna's transcendental conch shell and then mentions the names of the divine conch shells of Arjuna and Bhima.

Thus ends commentaries of chapter 1, verse 15 of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
