गङ्गातरणम् · Bharata’s Ferrying of the Army across the Ganga
आवासमादीपयतां तीर्थं चाप्यवगाहताम्।भाण्डानि चाददानानां घोषस्त्रिदिवमस्पृशत्।।।।
āvāsam ādīpayatāṃ tīrthaṃ cāpy avagāhatām | bhāṇḍāni cādadānānāṃ ghoṣas tridivam aspṛśat ||

The encampment is being dismantled and the crossing operation is underway, producing loud, bustling activity.
