Commentary: Sārārtha-Varṣiṇī Ṭīkā

(By Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura; the innermost intention of the commentary named ‘the shower of essential meanings’)

The purpose of this verse beginning with the word tataḥ is simply to express that both sides displayed their enthusiasm for war immediately thereafter. Here, paṇava, ānaka and gomukhāḥ refer to the small drum, the mṛdaṅga, and various horns and trumpets, respectively.
