Why is the sound [of musical instruments] applied there? What purpose does it serve when applied? What god is pleased with this, and what does he do on being pleased?

General definition (in Hinduism)

His sons and descendants, the 碍补峁噕补s, are also often mentioned, especially in the eighth book of the Rigveda, the authorship of that book, as well as of part of the first, being attributed to this family. A descendant of 碍补峁噕补 is also denoted by the name in the singular, either alone or accompanied by a patronymic, as 碍补峁噕补 N膩r峁da and 碍补峁噕补 艢r膩yasa, besides in the plural the 碍补峁噕补s Sau艣ra-vasas.
