Leopard Modern Punjabi Could not find the word for "leopard" in the online dictionary. This is the Romanized transliteration cqrw, plMg (chtar, peemhag). However the entry for "spotted" follows: daggi ; khaldar ; dabb karabba ; dabba ; chitla. Have some fun, because "chitia" has possibilities. Anyway, Guruji is saying "cheethhae." Do you think Guruji meant cheetah and the translator got it wrong? Unfortunately, "cheetah" was not in the online dictionary either. So let's just go with Guruji, who never fails us. ਸੁਆਨ ਸਿਆਲ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਹਿ ਰਾਤਾ ॥ suaan siaal maaeiaa mehi raathaa || Dogs and jackals are imbued with Maya. ਬੰਤਰ ਚੀਤੇ ਅਰੁ ਸਿੰਘਾਤਾ ॥ banthar cheethae ar singhaathaa || Monkeys, leopards and lions, ਮਾਂਜਾਰ ਗਾਡਰ ਅਰੁ ਲੂਬਰਾ ॥ maanjaar gaaddar ar loobaraa || cats, sheep, foxes, ਬਿਰਖ ਮੂਲ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਹਿ ਪਰਾ ॥੪॥ birakh mool maaeiaa mehi paraa ||4|| trees and roots are planted in Maya. ||4|| ਮਾਇਆ ਅੰਤਰਿ ਭੀਨੇ ਦੇਵ ॥ maaeiaa anthar bheenae dhaev || Even the gods are drenched with Maya, See other animals in this Guru Vaak uploaded in related albums when available.
