कंदर खोह नदीं नद नारे। अगम अगाध न जाहिं निहारे॥ भालु बाघ बृक केहरि नागा। करहिं नाद सुनि धीरजु भागा॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kaṃdara khoha nadīṃ nada nāre। agama agādha na jāhiṃ nihāre॥ bhālu bāgha br̥ka kehari nāgā। karahiṃ nāda suni dhairaju bhāgā॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

There are caves, hollows, rivers, streams, and rivulets—so inaccessible and deep that one cannot even look upon them. Bears, tigers, wolves, lions, and serpents make such cries that courage itself flees on hearing them.
