Vaiśampāyana said: Then conches and kettle-drums, the gomukha-horns and ḍambara-drums, and other instruments were sounded. Thereafter, in the palace of the king of Matsya—who was about to establish ties of alliance with the sons of Kuntī—many kinds of music resounded, and abundant provisions were brought forth as well: food fit to be eaten, dishes to be enjoyed, and drinks in plenty.
