专家说明

When the raksha Panchajanya kidnapped the son of Krishna's guru, Krishna defeated the sea demon and returned the boy to his father. The god then made a conch shell from Panchajanya's bones and carried it with him henceforth, sounding it when clarity of mind was needed to perform difficult tasks, such as the beginning of the great battle, the Mahabharatha.
