Jhaṅkāraśabda (झङ्कारशब्द) refers to the “sounds of the Jhaṅkāra”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.40 (“The Marriage Procession of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated to Nārada: “[...] The loud sounds of Ḍamarus, the Jhaṅkāra [e.g., jhaṅkāraśabda] sound of the Bherīs and the sound of the conches pervaded all the three worlds. The tumultuous sound of the Dundubhis rose up in the air blessing the universe auspiciously and destroying everything other than auspicious. O sage, behind the Gaṇas, the enthusiastic gods, the Siddhas, the guardians of the quarters and others followed. [...]”.
