The hunter thought, "His words, thoughts, and actions are truly con-
sistent." The uttermost faith thus arose within him. He shed many tears
and bowed down at Mila's feet, crying, "Oh precious Jetsunl I now offer
you my deer, my bitch, my bow and arrows, and my lasso. I and my bitch
have committed many sins. I pray you to free my bitch, Red Lightning
Lady, thus delivering her to the higher Realms; and [I pray you] to bring
this black deer to the Path of Great Happiness. I pray you grant me, the
huntsman Chirawa Gwunbo Dorje, the teaching of the Dharma and
lead me to the Path of Liberation." Then he sang:
Sitting on my right side is the deer
With horns as white as snow.
The markings round his mouth are his adornment.
If I slay him, my ravenous appetite
For seven days might be satisfied.
Now I do not need him and offer him to you.
Pray deliver this black deer to the P
Pray lead Red Lightning Lady to the Path of Bodhi,
Pray bring me, Gwunbo Dorje, to the Land of Liberation.
This black rope with its metal ring
Is fit to bind wild yaks on Great North Plain;
Now I do not need it and offer it to you.
Pray deliver this black deer to the Path of Great
Happiness,
Pray lead Red Lightning Lady to the Path of Bodhi,
Pray bring me, Gwunbo Dorje, to the Land of Liberation.
To wear this goat-skin with spotted pattern
Will keep one warm, however high the mountain;
Now I do not need it and offer it to you.
Pray deliver this black deer to the Path of
Great Happiness,
Pray lead Red Lighning Lady to the Path of Bodhi,
Pray bring me, Gwunbo Dorje, to the Land of Liberation.
In my right hand I hold arrows,
Each shaft adorned with feathers four;
When I shoot them with a "Phei!",
They always hit the target;
Now I do not need them and offer them to you.
Pray deliver this black deer to the Path of
Great Happiness,
Pray lead Red Lightning Lady to the Path of Bodhi,
Pray bring me, Gwunbo Dorje, to the Land of Liberation.
This superb white bow in my left hand
With white bark (of birch] is decked;
When you bend it, e'en the dragon
In the sky will roar [with fear];
Now I do not need it and offer it to you.
Pray deliver this black deer to the Path of
Great Happiness,
Pray lead Red Lightning Lady to the Path of Bodhi,
Pray bring me, Gwunbo Dorje, to the Land of Liberation.
In this manner Chirawa Gwunbo Dorje, the huntsman, offered the
deer, his bitch, and all his belongings to Milarepa. He then said, "Oh
Lama! Please accept me as your servant. I will go home to get provisions
from my children and then return. Do you intend to remain here?
