The lion-like roars of the warriors, the sounds of conches and drums. The rattle of the wheels of the cars, the shrieks of the huge elephants and the clash of weapons of various soldiers dressed in various dresses, and the neighing of horses. All these indistinct, sounds, mixing together, raised a deafening (Kil Kil) sound when the king was on the march. Beautiful ladies from the terraces of the magnificent mansions beheld the heroic, illustrious and kingly monarch (to pass).
सिंहनादैश्च योधानां शङ्खदुन्दुभिनिःस्वनैः। स्थनेमिस्वनैश्चैव सनागवरबंहितैः॥ नानायुधधरैश्चापि नानावेषधरैस्तथा। हेषितस्वनमित्रैश्च क्ष्वेडितास्फोटितस्वनैः॥ आसीत् किलकिलाशब्दस्तस्मिन् गच्छति पार्थिवे। प्रासादवरशृङ्गस्थाः परया नृपशोभया॥ ददृशुस्तं स्त्रियस्तत्र शूरमात्मयशस्करम्।
