अरण्यान्य् अरण्यान्य् असौ या प्रेव नश्यसि । कथा ग्रामꣳ न पृच्छसि न त्वा भीर् इव विन्दती३ꣳ

araṇyāny araṇyāny asau yā preva naśyasi | kathā grāmaṁ na pṛcchasi na tvā bhīr iva vindatī3m̐

Araṇyānī, Araṇyānī — you there who seem to vanish away, how is it you do not ask after the village? Does fear not find you?

RV 10 146.2

वृषारवाय वदते यद् उपावति चिच्चिकः । आघाटिभिर् इव धावयन्न् अरण्यानिर् महीयते

vṛṣāravāya vadate yad upāvati ciccikaḥ | āghāṭibhir iva dhāvayann araṇyānir mahīyate

When the ciccika calls out in answer to the vṛṣārava, Araṇyānī is exalted, as though one were urging on (a beast) with cymbals.

उत गाव इवादन्त्य् उत वेश्मेव दृश्यते । उतो अरण्यानिः सायꣳ शकटीर् इव सर्जति

uta gāva ivādanty uta veśmeva dṛśyate | uto araṇyāniḥ sāyaṁ śakaṭīr iva sarjati

And (there) as it were cows are grazing, and as it were a dwelling is seen, and at evening Araṇyānī, as it were, lets the carts roll forth.

गाम् अङ्गैष आ ह्वयति दार्व् अङ्गैषो अपावधीत् । वसन्न् अरण्यान्याꣳ सायम् अक्रुक्षद् इति मन्यते

gām aṅgaiṣa ā hvayati dārv aṅgaiṣo apāvadhīt | vasann araṇyānyāṁ sāyam akrukṣad iti manyate

Here now someone is calling a cow; here now someone has struck wood; one dwelling in the forest at evening thinks: "Somebody has cried out."

RV 10 146.5

न वा अरण्यानिर् हन्त्य् अन्यश् चेन् नाभिगच्छति । स्वादोः फलस्य जग्ध्वाय यथाकामꣳ नि पद्यते

na vā araṇyānir hanty anyaś cen nābhigacchati | svādoḥ phalasya jagdhvāya yathākāmaṁ ni padyate

Araṇyānī indeed does not kill, unless another comes up against (her); having eaten of sweet fruit, one lies down at will.

आञ्जनगन्धिꣳ सुरभिम् बह्वन्नाम् अकृषीवलाम् । प्राहम् मृगाणाम् मातरम् अरण्यानिम् अशꣳसिषम्

āñjanagandhiṁ surabhim bahvannām akṛṣīvalām | prāham mṛgāṇām mātaram araṇyānim aśaṁsiṣam

Smelling of ointment, fragrant, rich in food, not tilling the soil — her, the mother of wild beasts, Araṇyānī, I have praised.
