Or why does this noise of drums cause to re-echo the quarters of the sky? (Smiling.) Ah! I know what it is. I conjecture that even the tree of Paradise itself is shaken by the wind of my speed; and that the clouds of doomsday give forth their growl, anticipating the world's immediate annihilation. > — Palmer Boyd 1872, Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World - [Previous: 4.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.4.27) - [Next: 4.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.4.29) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.4) ## Translations (1) - [Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda~en-boyd.4.p108) — Palmer Boyd 1872, English ## Linked texts (2) - [Nāgānandanāṭaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.avadana.nataka.naganandanataka.4.28) — Sanskrit - [Nāgānanda](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.purana.nagananda.2.76) — Harṣa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.4.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.4.28) · Pramāṇa
