Their cry that is produced from the tongue root (soft palate) shall be called ‘frothy; that produced from the lip and the (hard) palate (tālujanita) is ‘boated’ (?) [tat potāyitamoṣṭhatālujanitaṃ]; that produced in the throat is their ‘roar’, that produced in the cheeks and trunk, their ‘laughter’. All these are auspicious.
