Translation
Conches, trumpets, drums, and kettledrums sounded in the sky. All the groups of devatās, sages and Pitṛs arrived.
Conchshells, bugles, drums, kettledrums fill space; sages, forefathers and beings from many planets come. Real events draw beings across realms; the threshold of the sacred is felt everywhere at once.
