Jaimini said: Kāmbojas, Tālajaṅghas, Śakas, Yavanas, Kirātas and others—his enemies who had offended him formerly, became utterly confounded as they lost courage on hearing the sounds of the war-drums and various other musical instruments (of Sagara’s army). They immediately abandoned their kingdoms, armies, cities and ladies of their harems. They wandered here and there to various directions due to their fear (of a fresh discharge) of his arrows and missiles.
