Why do the playful and restless Kirātas (kirātāḥ) mercilessly kill an innocent deer (mugdhamṛgam) in the mountain caves (girigahvareṣu) as if it were an enemy? This deer has its eyes fixed on the faces of the singing Pulinda women within the forests, which are agitated by bees swinging on creepers.
