The Kiratas go on: blessed are the earth, woods, paths and hills where the Lord has stepped; blessed the birds and deer whose lives are fulfilled by seeing him; blessed they and their families. He has chosen his place well and will be comfortable in every season. They will serve him in every way, keeping off elephants, lions, snakes and tigers. They know every thicket, cave and hollow step by step; they will take him hunting and show him lakes and springs. Let him never hesitate to command them. The doha: the compassionate Lord, beyond the Veda's words and the munis' minds, listens to the Kiratas as a father to his child's prattle.
धन्य भूमि बन पन्थ पहारा । जहँ जहँ नाथ पाउ तुम्ह धारा ॥
धन्य बिहग मृग काननचारी । सफल जनम भए तुम्हहिँ निहारी ॥
dhanya bhūmi bana pantha pahārā | jaham̐ jaham̐ nātha pāu tumha dhārā ||
dhanya bihaga mṛga kānanacārī | saphala janama bhae tumhahim̐ nihārī ||
हम सब धन्य सहित परिवारा । दीख दरस भरि नयन तुम्हारा ॥
कीन्ह बास भल ठाउँ बिचारी । इहाँ सकल रितु रहब सुखारी ॥
hama saba dhanya sahita parivārā | dīkha darasa bhari nayana tumhārā ||
kīnha bāsa bhala ṭhāum̐ bicārī | ihām̐ sakala ritu rahaba sukhārī ||
हम सब भाँति करब सेवकाई । करि-केहरि-अहि-बाघ बराई ॥
बन बेहड़ गिरि कन्दर खोहा । सब हमार प्रभु पग पग जोहा ॥
hama saba bhām̐ti karaba sevakāī | kari-kehari-ahi-bāgha barāī ||
bana behar̤a giri kandara khohā | saba hamāra prabhu paga paga johā ||
जहँ तहँ तुम्हहि अहेर खेलाउब । सर निरझर जलठाउँ देखाउब ॥
हम सेवक परिवार समेता । नाथ न सकुचब आयसु देता ॥
jaham̐ taham̐ tumhahi ahera khelāuba | sara nirajhara jalaṭhāum̐ dekhāuba ||
hama sevaka parivāra sametā | nātha na sakucaba āyasu detā ||
बेद-बचन मुनि-मन-अगम, ते प्रभु करुना अयन ।
बचन किरातन्ह के सुनत, जिमि पितु बालक-बैन ॥
beda-bacana muni-mana-agama, te prabhu karunā ayana |
bacana kirātanha ke sunata, jimi pitu bālaka-baina ||
