Translation
The city was attractive with the sounds of mṛdaṅgas, conchs, kettledrums, with flutes keeping beat to stringed instruments and tambourines, with dancing accompanied by instrumental music, and with Gandharvas’ singing. The beauty of Indrapurī defeated beauty personified. The city defeated beauty personified (jita-prabhām) by its beauty. Another version has jita-grahām. This means it defeated the planets like the sun.
