English Scholarly Translation
That battle he come a musical entertainment' mellifluous with bow-string for Vina, having the neighing of chargers for its measure, and with the cries of Maindas' for its strains. 1. The reader has already perceived that the carrying out of a simile to a number of details is a characteristic as much of Vālmīki as of his rival in the epic sphere-Vyāsa, but the comparisons are never on all fours, as in the case before us. 2. A classical Hindu musical instrument, having metallic strings, with a pair of gourds at one end for the sounding-board. Vide Yantra-Kosa by Sir Saurindra Mohan Tagore, Mus-Doc. 3. A species of elephants.
