अथ thereafter, अन्धकारे in the darkness, अचक्षुर्विषये not within the range of sight, नर्दतः making sounds, वारणस्येव like the sound of an elephant, जले in water, पूर्यतः being filled, कुम्भस्य a pitcher, घोषम् sound, अश्रौषम् heard.

Then at a place that was out of the range of my sight in darkness I heard the sound of a pitcher being filled with water which resembled the sound of an elephant.
