Meaning
One sleeping girl is told to listen: the birds are already calling, and the white conch is sounding from the temple of the lord who rides the king of birds. He drank poison from the demoness's breast and kicked apart the treacherous cart; he is the primal seed who rests on the serpent upon the waters. Sages and yogis are rising slowly, and the great sound of their cry of Hari enters the heart and cools it, so she must wake.
