There was a question asking if there exists a recording of the verse mentioned in the title; looks like the post got deleted (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23211366 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23211366) while I was answering it. Anyway: the Facebook post mentioned above links to their Soundcloud reciting this verse in ominous tones with some modern music. I'm not aware of a more "traditional" recording of the Shishupala Vadha, but there is an earlier work by a different author (Bharavi) whose 15th chapter (canto) has similar constraints (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kir%C4%81t%C4%81rjun%C4%ABya&oldid=941389638#Linguistic_ingenuity https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kir%C4%81t%C4%81r... as mentioned in the article), and there's a recording of that here: https://archive.org/details/kirAtArjunIya-mUlam-vedabhoomi.org/KirataArjuniyam-Sarga015-16-30.mp3 https://archive.org/details/kirAtArjunIya-mUlam-vedabhoomi.o... (extracted from a recording with commentary here: https://archive.org/details/KiratarjuneeyamByMahakaviBharavirecordedByVedabhoomi.org/KirataArjuniyam-Sarga015-1-15.mp3 https://archive.org/details/KiratarjuneeyamByMahakaviBharavi...) — as you listen to the chapter you can easily tell when these two-consonant or one-consonant verses appear :-)
