na naḥ purojanapadā
na grāmā na gṛhā vayam
vanaukasas tāta nityaṁ
vana-śaila-nivāsinaḥ

na — not; naḥ — for us; puraḥ — the cities; jana-padāḥ — developed inhabited area; na — not; grāmāḥ — villages; na — not; gṛhāḥ — living in permanent homes; vayam — we; vana-okasaḥ — dwelling in the forests; tāta — My dear father; nityam — always; vana — in the forests; śaila — and on the hills; nivāsinaḥ — living.
