The line
At the start, the sounds born of the ocean, the thundercloud, the kettledrum, and the jharjhara. In the middle, those risen from the mardala and the conch, and those born of the bell and the kāhala (काहल).
नेपालीमा
सुरुमा समुद्र, गर्जने बादल, नगाडा र झर्झरबाट जन्मेका आवाज। बीचमा मर्दल र शङ्खबाट उठेका, र घण्टी र काहलबाट जन्मेका।
Where it sits
The list finishes at 4.86. These are the instruments the inner sound takes as its names. Sangeet Yatra is the practice, at the instrument, of the śāstra (शास्त्र) that builds song, instrument, and dance on nāda (नाद). The yogin hears these names inside the body. Jaladhi (जलधि) is the ocean, jīmūta (जीमूत) the thundercloud, bherī (भेरी) the kettledrum, jharjhara (झर्झर) the rattling drum, mardala (मर्दल) the drum of 4.74, śaṅkha (शङ्ख) the conch, ghaṇṭā (घण्टा) the bell, kāhala (काहल) the great horn.
Split: ādau (आदौ) jaladhi (जलधि) + jīmūta (जीमूत) + bherī (भेरी) + jharjhara (झर्झर) + sambhavāḥ (सम्भवाः) / madhye (मध्ये) mardala (मर्दल) + śaṅkhotthā (शङ्खोत्था) ghaṇṭā (घण्टा) + kāhalajās (काहलजास्) tathā (तथा)
