Jímútaváhana (listening).
You are right. An ear-deafening noise arises, made by the repeated flappings of the ears of the sea-monsters as they emerge, and causing the interiors of all the mountain caves to re-echo. Here comes the tide, white with the innumerable shells which it tosses on its waves.

Palmer Boyd 1872, Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World
