Ālambara
OtherDie donnerähnliche Trommel der Asuras, gefertigt aus der Schere einer Riesenkrabbe, die Sakka nach ihrer Niederlage in der Schlacht in Besitz nahm.
The drum of the Asurā made from the claw of the crab of Kulīradaha. (For the story see Ānaka.)
When the Asurā were defeated in battle they left the drum in their flight and Sakka took possession of it.
Its sound resembled a peal of thunder and for that reason, probably, came to be called Ālambara-megha. J.ii.344.
