tad-anga-prabhavam sankham
adaya ratham agamat
tatah samyamanim nama
yamasya dayitam purim
gatva janardanah sankham
pradadhmau sa-halayudhah
sankha-nirhradam akarnya
praja-samyamano yamah
tayoh saparyam mahatim
cakre bhakty-upabrmhitam
uvacavanatah krsnam
sarva-bhutasayalayam
lila-manusyayor visno
yuvayoh karavama kim
Translation:
Lord Janardana took the conchshell that had grown around the demon’s body and went back to the chariot. Then He proceeded to Samyamani, the beloved capital of Yamaraja, the lord of death. Upon arriving there with Lord Balarama, He loudly blew His conchshell, and Yamaraja, who keeps the conditioned souls in check, came as soon as he heard the resounding vibration. Yamaraja elaborately worshiped the two Lords with great devotion, and then he addressed Lord Krsna, who lives in everyone’s heart: “O Supreme Lord Visnu, what shall I do for You and Lord Balarama, who are playing the part of ordinary humans?”
Purport:
The conchshell the Lord took from Pañcajana, which is called Pañcajanya, is the same one He sounded at the beginning of the Bhagavad-gita. According to the acaryas, Pañcajana had become a demon in a way similar to that of Jaya and Vijaya. In other words, though appearing in the form of a demon, he was actually a devotee of the Lord. The Skanda Purana, Avanti-khanda, describes the wonderful things that happened when Lord Krsna sounded His conchshell:
asipatra-vanam nama
sirna-patram ajayata
rauravam nama narakam
arauravam abhut tada
abhairavam bhairavakhyam
kumbhi-pakam apacakam
“The hell known as Asipatra-vana lost the sharp, swordlike leaves on its trees, and the hell named Raurava became free of its ruru beasts. The Bhairava hell lost its fearfulness, and all cooking stopped in the Kumbhipaka hell.”
The Skanda Purana further states:
papa-ksayat tatah sarve
vimukta naraka narah
padam avyayam asadya
“Their sinful reactions eradicated, all the inhabitants of hell attained liberation and approached the spiritual world.”
