इन्दिन्दिररुताकारं तन्त्रीरणितरञ्जनम् ।
न रोदनं च पठनं बिसकोशसमस्वनम् ॥ ४ ॥

indindirarutākāraṃ tantrīraṇitarañjanam |
na rodanaṃ ca paṭhanaṃ bisakośasamasvanam || 4 ||

It was as sweet as the humming of the bees, and as pleasing as the tune of wired instruments; it was neither the chime of crying nor the rumble of reading, but as the buzzing of black bees, known to men as the visa-koshi strain in vocal music.
