Shloka 71
तस्य लाडूलनिनदं पर्वत: सुगुहामुखै: । उद्गारमिव गॉर्नर्दन्नुत्ससर्ज समन््ततः,वह पर्वत उनकी पूँछकी फटकारके उस महान् शब्दको सुन्दर कन्दरारूपी मुखोंद्वारा सब ओर प्रतिध्वनिके रूपमें दुहराता था, मानो कोई साँड़ जोर-जोरसे गर्जना कर रहा हो
tasya lāḍūla-ninadaṃ parvataḥ su-guhā-mukhaiḥ | udgāram iva go-nardan-n utsasarja samantataḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana said: The mountain, with its many lovely cave-like mouths, echoed that resounding noise made by him, casting it back in all directions—like the bellowing roar of a powerful bull.

The verse underscores how great force or uncontrolled power does not remain private: it reverberates outward, affecting the wider world—symbolized by the mountain amplifying the sound in every direction.
A tremendous sound is produced (understood in context as from a powerful being’s movement, such as a tail-lash). The mountain’s many caves act like mouths that echo and multiply the noise everywhere, compared to the loud bellowing of a bull.
