Many people of the land were also present. Some people blew horns others ululated with joy. Singers were leading the ceremony with their instruments of song (and dance). When Athaliah saw all these things, (she) tore her clothes and shouted loudly saying, ‘A plot! A plot!’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “There she saw the king standing near his pillar at the gate for the king. The rulers and trumpet players were standing near the king, all the people of the land were rejoicing and playing trumpets. Seeing the ones singing songs rendering praise by beating drums, Athaliah tore her clothes and began crying out like this, "You have betrayed me, you are traitors."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
