The speaker in the given lines is contrasting the tumult of the crowd and the shouting of the people.

Explanation:

Even without the waging of the battle and the shouting of the people has already died, there is no single cause or the reason for forgetting god. The sacrifices which have been made are still relevant in todays world. One should change their attitude towards god because of any reason. Because no such reason is powerful to change one’s attitude towards God.
