शङ्खदुन्दुभिनिर्घोषः सिंहनादस्तरस्विनाम्। पृथिवीं चान्तरिक्षं स सागरं चाभ्यनादयत्॥ गजानां बृंहितैः सार्धं हयानां हेषितैरपि। रथानां नेमिनिर्घोषै रक्षसां पदनिःस्वनैः॥

English Meaning

And sounds of conchs, and drums as well as the leonine shouts of the impetuous (warriors), made the earth, air, and ocean, resound: and these mixed with the roars of elephants, the neighing of steeds, the rattle of the car-wheels, ant the tread of the Rākşasa' feet.
