मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
कलहंसविनिर्धोषैर्नूपुराणां च नि:स्वनै: । काज्चीनां च समुत्कर्षस्तत्र तत्र निबोध्यते,वह सो जानेपर कलहंसोंके कलरवों, नूपुरोंकी मधुर झनकारों तथा काउ्चीकी मनोहर ध्वनियोंद्वारा जगाया जाता है
kala-haṃsa-vinirghoṣair nūpurāṇāṃ ca niḥsvanaiḥ | kāñcīnāṃ ca samutkarṣas tatra tatra nibodhyate ||
毗湿摩说道：在那里，人屡屡觉察到一派生动的喧响——由迦罗天鹅（kala-haṃsa）的鸣叫唤醒，由脚铃的清甜叮当唤醒，又由女子腰带的悦耳回响唤醒。

Bhīṣma is describing a scene where people become repeatedly aware of lively movement and awakening, signaled by the calls of kala-haṃsa swans and the melodious jingling of anklets and girdles—an evocative sensory detail within his ongoing discourse.
