Jayaratha cites the Brahmayāmala passage giving this order of the ten sounds (e.g., Cinī). The exact nature of the cinī- /ciṇī and the ciñcinī- /ciñciṇī forms of resonance is not explained by either Abhinavagupta or Jayaratha. Kṣemarāja identifies ciñcinī as the sound produced by the cricket (cīravāk).
