Accordingly:—“Then striking three times the bell Sughoá¹£Ä� which has a wonderful sound for a radius of a yojana, he made it ring. With Sughoá¹£Ä� the bells of all the other palaces rang, like birds singing with the bird leading the singing. The sound of these bells increased from the echoes arising in the skies like a family of the noble from sons resembling themselves. Springing up in thirty-two lacs of palaces, the sound expanded in the form of echoes like a word in the palate. The gods sunk in negligence were dazed by that sound. Saying, ‘What is this?â€� confused, they paid attentionâ€�.
