हृदयँ न कछु फल अनुसन्धाना । भूप बिबेकी परम सुजाना ॥
करइ जे धरम करम मन बानी । वासुदेव अर्पित नृप-ज्ञानी ॥
hṛdayam̐ na kachu phala anusandhānā | bhūpa bibekī parama sujānā ||
karai je dharama karama mana bānī | vāsudeva arpita nṛpa-jñānī ||

What happens in this chapter
The king hunts a great boar
In his heart the king sought no reward; wise and discerning, he offered every act of dharma in thought, word and deed to Vasudeva. Once, mounted on a fine horse, he went into the deep forest of the Vindhya hills and killed many deer fit for the hunt. Roaming the forest, he saw a boar, like Rahu who had swallowed the moon and hidden in the woods, its curved tusks gleaming like that moon. Hearing the horse's sound, it grunted, startled, ears raised. Seeing the vast boar like the peak of a dark mountain, the king spurred his horse and rushed at it, crying that it would not escape.
चढ़ि बर बाजि बार एक राजा । मृगया कर सब साजि समाजा ॥
बिन्ध्याचल गभीर बन गयऊ । मृग पुनीत बहु मारत भयऊ ॥
car̤hi bara bāji bāra eka rājā | mṛgayā kara saba sāji samājā ||
bindhyācala gabhīra bana gayaū | mṛga punīta bahu mārata bhayaū ||
फिरत बिपिन नृप दीख बराहू । जनु बन दुरेउ ससिहि ग्रसि राहू ॥
बड़ बिधु नहिँ समात मुख माहीँ । मनहुँ क्रोध बस उगिलत नाहीँ ॥
phirata bipina nṛpa dīkha barāhū | janu bana dureu sasihi grasi rāhū ||
bar̤a bidhu nahim̐ samāta mukha māhīm̐ | manahum̐ krodha basa ugilata nāhīm̐ ||
कोल कराल दसन छबि गाई । तनु बिसाल पीवर अधिकाई ॥
घुरुघुरात हय आरौ पाये । चकित बिलोकत कान उठाये ॥
kola karāla dasana chabi gāī | tanu bisāla pīvara adhikāī ||
ghurughurāta haya ārau pāye | cakita bilokata kāna uṭhāye ||
नील-महीधर-सिखर सम, देखि बिसाल बराह ।
चपरि चलेउ हय सुटुकि नृप, हाँकि न होइ निबाह ॥
nīla-mahīdhara-sikhara sama, dekhi bisāla barāha |
capari caleu haya suṭuki nṛpa, hām̐ki na hoi nibāha ||
