: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri’s Kuvalayamala-katha (history)

Auspicious songs were sung, as part of preparatory rituals performed before Sea-voyages in ancient India (known in Prakrit as: Âá²¹³Ù³ÙÄå, or Sanskrit: ²âÄå³Ù°ùÄå), and was vividly depicted in the KathÄs (narrative poems) such as UddyotanasÅ«ri in his 8th-century KuvalayamÄlÄ (a Prakrit CampÅ«, similar to KÄvya poetry).—[...] When the ship was to take off auspicious musical instruments were sounded, conch-shells were blown, auspicious songs were sung, Brahmins muttered the Äå²õÄ«²õÄå; and thus in the sound of invocation and jaya jaya the ship took off its voyage, the sails were unfurled, the ropes and riggings were pulled up, the oars began to be operated, the helmsman took observations, the ship fell into its course, favourable winds began to blow: thus the ship started its journey being tossed on the high sea waves.
