English Meaning
Thereupon causing the down of the audience to stand on end, and ravishing their minds and hearts, they began to sing melodiously and distinctly and in as high a pitch as they could command, and in strains rivalling the notes of a Vīņā. And that song of their enchanted the ear of that assembly.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
