Source: academia.edu: The Yoga of the MālinīvijayottaratantraDāgha (दाघ) or Dāghanirghoṣa or simply Dāva refers to the “sounds of a forest-fire” and represents one of the ten kinds of sounds (śabda) according to Jayaratha (author of the 13th century commentary Tantrālokaviveka on Abhinavagupta’s Tantrāloka). Jayaratha cites the Brahmayāmala passage giving this order of the ten sounds (e.g., Dāva).
