________________ 158 JAIN JOURNAL Your mouth is foaming, And your head is drooping on the ground. This is an ill destiny sheer, You are bound for the kill, How shall I bear ? Alas, alas, alas ! Leader of the hunters : [Coming close to the mother deer] Thou need not, need not care, This grief and pain to bear. To spare you of these here Shall also with the child take you there. Mother deer : Do that, do that I implore thee, Only make the little one free, It doesn't know what is meant, Being now so innocent. Leader of the hunters : Don't, don't tell me your feelings, As it is so young Its flesh will be tasty. Company of the hunters : Ah ! Right you have told, right. Leader of the hunters : Make haste, make haste, Catch her best, Lest She flies. Mother deer : You need not catch me thus, I have surrendered my self. Leader of the hunters : Make haste, make haste, make haste. [The hunters have seized her] Baby deer : O mother, mother, mother!
