又大樹緊那羅王所問經云。爾時大樹緊那羅王。以己所撣琉璃之琴。閻浮檀金華葉莊嚴。善淨業報之所造作。在如來前善自調琴。及餘八萬四千伎樂。是大樹王當撣此琴鼓眾樂時。其音普皆聞此三千大千世界。是琴音聲及妙歌聲。隱蔽欲界諸天音樂。所有諸山藥草叢林悉皆遍動。如人極醉前却顛倒。須彌駊騀涌沒不定。一切凡聖唯除菩薩不退轉者。其餘一切聞是琴聲。及諸樂音。各不自安。從坐起舞。一切聲聞放捨威儀誕貌逸樂。如小兒舞戲不能自持。爾時天冠菩薩語是聲聞大迦葉等。汝諸大德已離煩惱得八解脫。云何今者各捨威儀。如彼小兒舉身動舞。於時大德諸聲聞等答言。善男子。我於是中不得自在。如旋嵐大風吹諸樹木。彼無有力能自安持。非彼本心之所欲樂。爾時天冠菩薩語大迦葉。汝今觀是不退菩薩威德勢力。誰見如是而當不發無上正真菩提道心。琴聲威力皆說法音。八千菩薩得無生忍。

The Drumakinnararājaparipṛcchā Sūtra also states: At that time, the kiṃnara king Druma took his vaidūrya zither, adorned with Jambūnada gold flowers and leaves, which had been fashioned through pure karmic retribution. Before the Tathāgata, he tuned the zither skillfully, along with eighty-four thousand other musical instruments. When this king Druma struck this zither and beat the multitude of instruments, the sound was heard throughout this trichiliocosm. The sound of this zither and the wondrous song eclipsed all the music of the devas in the desire realm. All the mountains, medicinal herbs, and groves were moved throughout, reeling back and forth and tumbling like men deeply intoxicated. Mount Sumeru pitched and heaved, rising and sinking without settling. All ordinary beings and saints—except for the non-retrogressing bodhisattvas—all the rest, upon hearing the sound of this zither and the musical tones, could not remain still and arose from their seats to dance. All the śrāvakas cast aside their dignified deportment, indulging in joyful abandonment like children playing and dancing, unable to control themselves. At that time, the bodhisattva Tianguan said to these śrāvakas, Mahākāśyapa and the others: 'Venerable Ones, you have already abandoned the defilements and attained the eight liberations. Why do you now abandon your dignified deportment, moving your entire bodies and dancing like children?' At that time, the venerable śrāvakas replied: 'Good man, in this we have no mastery. It is like the great whirlwind blowing against the trees; they have no power to steady themselves, nor is it what their original minds desire.' At that time, Bodhisattva Tianguan said to Mahākāśyapa: 'Look now upon the power and majesty of these non-retrogressing bodhisattvas! Who, seeing this, would not give rise to the mind of unsurpassed, true and correct bodhi?' The mighty power of the zither's sound all preached the sounds of the Dharma, and eight thousand bodhisattvas attained the forbearance of non-arising.
