Translation
At every step, cries of “Jaya!” and the blare of ceremonial instruments seemed to deafen the very quarters of space. The king moved on slowly, passing through the inner divisions, and in due order crossed three courtyards, where the palace attendants (kañcukīs) bustled in eager excitement.
