2 printings differ

Edition differences. Another printing or text reads this place differently.

Word A digital text reads Reads अभ्यनुनादयन् and gives the edition's व्यनुनादयन् in brackets as an alternative (तुमुलो व्यनुनादयन्). Both verbs mean 'making (sky and earth) resound'; the translations do not decide between them.
Word A digital text reads Reads abhyanunādayan, like another digital text (another digital text prints tumulobhyanunādayan without the avagraha).
