• khāṇḍava-prastham — Indraprastha (Khāṇḍava plain)
  Founded on the burnt Khāṇḍava forest; the Pāṇḍava capital. Sets the geographical home-base to which Kṛṣṇa returns from Magadha.
• śaṅkhān-dadhmuḥ — they blew the conches
  Two consecutive synonym-chunks. Śaṅkha-dhvani is a recurrent līlā-marker; the blowing is itself a public ārati of victory. Vaiṣṇavas hear conches as announcements that Bhagavān has acted.
• jita-arayaḥ — those whose enemy is defeated
  Two consecutive synonym-chunks (jita + arayaḥ). A standing Sanskrit epithet for victors. The Dvārakā-Indraprastha alliance is named not by its power but by what it overcame.
• harṣayantaḥ — delighting (well-wishers)
  Causative present participle of √hṛṣ. Paired in the verse with asukha-āvahāḥ ('bringing displeasure to enemies') — same act, two effects. A precise statement of Bhagavān's ambivalent action upon the world.

Conchshells over Khāṇḍava-prastha do what trumpets do at the city gate — they announce, simultaneously, joy to one side and dismay to the other. A single sound, two rasas. Bhagavān's līlā has the same double action: it gladdens the surrendered and unsettles those who oppose.
