Mahāvasu’s Fall by Speech-Error and Release through Devotion (अज-विवादः वसोः शापः विमोचनं च)
देवदुन्दुभयश्वैव प्रावाद्यन्त महास्वना: । विश्वावसुश्न गन्धर्वस्तथा तुम्बुरुनारदौ
devadundubhayāś caiva prāvādyanta mahāsvanāḥ | viśvāvasuś ca gandharvas tathā tumburunāradau ||
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “Umalingawngaw ang mga tambol na makalangit sa napakalakas na tunog; at ang Gandharva na si Viśvāvasu, kasama sina Tumburu at Nārada, ay nagsimula ring tumugtog at magtanghal.”

Bhīṣma describes a moment when divine drums thunder and renowned celestial musicians—Viśvāvasu, Tumburu, and Nārada—begin performing, creating a solemn, celebratory atmosphere that frames the episode as spiritually momentous.
