Tala nangi uyokkon
pamel nangi uthakon
Hangoi ponde nurabigi waikol lam
Tangja lilha pakhangbagi waichatlam
Ayingbana ngamdaba lam
asabana youdaba lam
~
How you grace the forest
Guardians of the grove
The frogs croak
And the snake slithers
Neither cold suppresses
Nor heat ravishes
(Adapted from Pena Seisak**)

Chinglen Khutlam Kham
Amam Leisarok
Mang ngan tarang wangpa chingpu leiye
Tupuna sempa ching
lumpuna taopa ching
Yuhanna ha-tapa-ching
yuchengna niktapa ching
Ngancheng Ching Punshilok.
~
Arising from the hidden brooks
Moulded by the earth
A sacred mountain so divine
Envisioned by the seers of yore
Tilled by the wise
Undaunted by quakes
Unruffled by spirits
The mountain of light — Punshilok
(Excerpts from Langkon Chingkoiron Puya***)
