Jímútaváhana (after listening).
Friend, you have seen correctly; for these antelopes, their bodies bent sideways, stopping the noise of chewing the mouthfuls of darbha grass between their teeth, listen to the distinct melodious words of a song, possessing, through due regard to the laws of harmony, the treble and bass tones impartially developed from their respective organs, mingled with the notes of the strings of the resounding lute, as with the hum of bees.
