v1.c18.186

There were four sounds heard throughout Jambudīpa—the shout uttered by Puṇṇaka proclaiming his victory over Dhanañjaya Koravya in a game of dice; the bark of Vissakamma when taken about in the guise of a dog by Sakka, threatening to devour all wicked beings after the decay of Kassapa’s sāsana; the roar of Kusa, challenging to battle the seven kings who sought the hand of Pabhāvatī; and the yell of Āḷavaka, proclaiming his name from the top of Kelāsa, on hearing that the Buddha had visited his abode.¹¹
