ततः सर्वस्य रज्गस्य समुत्पिउजलको<5भवत् | प्रावाद्यन्त च वाद्यानि सशड्खानि समन्ततः,फिर तो समूचे रंगमण्डपमें हर्षोल्लास छा गया। सब ओर भाँति-भाँतिके बाजे और शंख बजने लगे

ثم غمرت البهجةُ العارمةُ ساحةَ الميدان كلَّها. ومن كلِّ جانبٍ دوَّت شتّى الآلات الموسيقية، ونُفِخَت الأصدافُ (الشَّنْخ) كذلك في الجهات كافة—علامةً ظاهرةً على سرورٍ جماعيّ واحتفالٍ ميمونٍ في المجلس.
