Both in the city as well as in the sky, there was a tumultuous cacophony of sound of merry singing of auspicious songs and beating of musical instruments such as the kettle-drums when everyone found that the beautiful Kalpa Tree (which is the all wish-fulfilling tree of Gods; the Nyctanthes arvor tristis tree) representing fulfilled desires has bloomed.
(When Lord Ram broke the bow, it signaled the fulfillment of desire of everyone, whether it were the citizens, king Janak, Sita and his mother, or even the Gods, that Ram should become the groom for Sita. The ‘Kalpa Tree’ is a metaphor used in classical literature to indicate fulfillment of desires and wishes. Therefore, as soon as Ram snapped the bow, the city and the sky erupted in spontaneous cheering. There was joyous singing and enthusiastic playing of musical instruments almost instantaneously.)
