THE POWER OF MUSIC : SUMMARY, GLOSSARY AND QUESTION ANSWERS

Summary

During the summer season, one can hear the song of Bhisma Lochan Sharma. It is loud and can be heard from Delhi to Burma. His voice is not pleasant. So it seems that perhaps he has lost a bet and has to sing because of that or he has decided to sing forcefully. The people are confused and cannot think properly due to the unpleasant song. They run around to save themselves and a stampede occurs. Their faces are pale and they look ill due to Bhisma’s unpleasant voice. They request him to stop singing. Even the animals are affected by the loud noise. The bullock carts get overturned and the horses come out on the roads. But the singer continues. The animals disliked the sound of his song as soon as they heard it. They cry in revolt and even raise their feet in the air. The fishes try to escape the noise by diving deep into the water. Even the tree trembles and gets uprooted. The thud sound can be heard even a mile away. The birds flying in the sky overturn. All the people cry and request Bhisma to stop or else they will die. The sky also weeps on hearing his noise. 


A wise male goat appears. He attacks Bhisma with his horns. Its bellow sound is similar to the noise made by Bhisma. Bhisma is thrown up in the air, and he rotates around. Thus Bhisma stops and the world gets a gift of silence.
