हुंकारेणैव ते दैत्याः स्वमेव नगरं गताः । विस्मृतं सकलं तेषां स्वयंवरमुखं च तत्
huṃkāreṇaiva te daityāḥ svameva nagaraṃ gatāḥ | vismṛtaṃ sakalaṃ teṣāṃ svayaṃvaramukhaṃ ca tat
Sa mismong isang “huṃ” na iyon, ang mga Daitya ay nagbalik sa sarili nilang lungsod. Nalipol sa alaala nila ang lahat, pati ang layon ng svayaṃvara.

None; the emphasis is on the spontaneous efficacy of divine sound.
