Fire-escape deliberation
वेणुवीणामृदड्जानां मनोज्ञानां च सर्वशः । शब्देन पूर्यते हर्म्य तद् वन॑ं सुमहर्द्धिमत्,वहाँका राजभवन और महान् समृद्धिशाली वन वीणा, वेणु और मृदंग आदि मनोहर वाद्योंकी सुमधुर ध्वनिसे सब ओर गूँजने लगा
veṇuvīṇāmṛdaṅgānāṃ manojñānāṃ ca sarvaśaḥ | śabdena pūryate harmyaṃ tad vanaṃ sumaharddhimat ||
Vaiśampāyana nói: Cung điện ấy—và khu lâm viên phồn thịnh bao quanh—bốn phía đều ngập tràn âm thanh, khi những tiếng nhạc ngọt ngào của các nhạc cụ làm say lòng như sáo trúc, đàn vīṇā và trống mṛdaṅga vang lên khắp chốn.
