# Bal Kand · Doha 156

**चौ०** 
> हृदयँ न कछु फल अनुसंधाना। भूप बिबेकी परम सुजाना॥  
> करइ जे धरम करम मन बानी। बासुदेव अर्पित नृप ग्यानी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> चढ़ि बर बाजि बार एक राजा। मृगया कर सब साजि समाजा॥  
> बिंध्याचल गभीर बन गयऊ। मृग पुनीत बहु मारत भयऊ॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> फिरत बिपिन नृप दीख बराहू। जनु बन दुरेउ ससिहि ग्रसि राहू॥  
> बड़ बिधु नहिं समात मुख माहीं। मनहुँ क्रोध बस उगिलत नाहीं॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> कोल कराल दसन छबि गाई। तनु बिसाल पीवर अधिकाई॥  
> घुरुघुरात हय आरौ पाएँ। चकित बिलोकत कान उठाएँ॥४॥

Meaning: There was no seeking for any reward in his heart; the king was a man of great intelligence and wisdom. Whatever meritorious act he performed in thought, word or deed, the wise king dedicated it to Lord Vāsudeva (the all-pervading God Viṣṇu). (1)

Equipping himself with all the outfit of hunting, the king mounted a gallant steed one day and, entering the dense forest of the Vindhya range, killed many a sacred deer. (2)

While ranging in the wood he espied a wild boar. It looked as if with the moon in his mouth, the demon Rāhu had hid in the forest. The orb was too large to be contained in the mouth, yet in his rage he would not disgorge it. (3)

Thus have I portrayed the impressiveness of the frightful tusks of the boar, while its body too was of an enormous size and bulk. Growling at the tramp of the horse and pricking up its ears, it gazed with an alert look. (4)

**दो०** 
> नील महीधर सिखर सम देखि बिसाल बराहु।  
> चपरि चलेउ हय सुटुकि नृप हाँकि न होइ निबाहु॥१५६॥

Meaning: On seeing the huge boar, which resembled a purple mountain-peak, the king whipped the horse and advanced rapidly, challenging the boar and at the same time yelling at it that now it could no longer escape. (156)
