10.146.1
ara̍ṇyā̱ny ara̍ṇyāny a̱sau yā preva̱ naśya̍si |
ka̱thā grāma̱ṁ na pṛ̍cchasi̱ na tvā̱ bhīr i̍va vindatī3m̐ ||
GODDESS of wild and forest who seemest to vanish from the sight. How is it that thou seekest not the village? Art thou not afraid?
10.146.2
vṛ̱ṣā̱ra̱vāya̱ vada̍te̱ yad u̱pāva̍ti cicci̱kaḥ |
ā̱ghā̱ṭibhi̍r iva dhā̱vaya̍nn araṇyā̱nir ma̍hīyate ||
What time the grasshopper replies and swells the shrill cicala's voice, Seeming to sound with tinkling bells, the Lady of the Wood exults.
10.146.3
u̱ta gāva̍ ivādanty u̱ta veśme̍va dṛśyate |
u̱to a̍raṇyā̱niḥ sā̱yaṁ śa̍ka̱ṭīr i̍va sarjati ||
And, yonder, cattle seem to graze, what seems a dwelling-place appears: Or else at eve the Lady of the Forest seems to free the wains.
10.146.4
gām a̱ṅgaiṣa ā hva̍yati̱ dārv a̱ṅgaiṣo apā̍vadhīt |
vasa̍nn araṇyā̱nyāṁ sā̱yam akru̍kṣa̱d iti̍ manyate ||
Here one is calling to his cow, another there hath felled a tree: At eve the dweller in the wood fancies that somebody hath screamed.
10.146.5
na vā a̍raṇyā̱nir ha̍nty a̱nyaś cen nābhi̱gaccha̍ti |
svā̱doḥ phala̍sya ja̱gdhvāya̍ yathā̱kāma̱ṁ ni pa̍dyate ||
The Goddess never slays, unless some murderous enemy approach. Man eats of savoury fruit and then takes, even as he wills, his rest.
10.146.6
āñja̍nagandhiṁ sura̱bhim ba̍hva̱nnām akṛ̍ṣīvalām |
prāham mṛ̱gāṇā̍m mā̱tara̍m araṇyā̱nim a̍śaṁsiṣam ||
Now have I praised the Forest Queen, sweet-scented, redolent of balm, The Mother of all sylvan things, who tills not but hath stores of food.
