Thereupon conches, kettle-drums, tabours and drums of large size and cymbals and other instruments, such as Dindimas and Jharjharas were begun to be blown and struck on every side. O monarch, there was a loud sound of musical instruments amongst the soldiers on both the sides. There were terrible lion-roars of the heroes, who were most desirous of victory.
ततः शङ्खाश्च भेर्यश्च पणवानकदुन्दुभिः। डिण्डिमाश्चाप्यहन्यन्त झर्झराश्च समन्ततः॥ सेनायोरुभयो राजन् प्रावाद्यन्त महास्वनाः। सिंहनादश्च संजज्ञे शूराणां जयगृद्धिनाम्॥
