Translation

By nature the doe was always afraid of being killed by others, and it was always looking about suspiciously. When it heard the lion’s tumultuous roar, it became very agitated. Looking here and there with disturbed eyes, the doe, although it had not fully satisfied itself by drinking water, suddenly leaped across the river.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Hearing that sound, the doe, whose nature was to be alarmed, with restless eyes, with fear of the lion entering its agitated heart, with irresolute gaze, in terror leaped over the stream in the same instant, without satisfying her thirst. Sahasā means at the same time as the roar. Bhayāt means in terror. She jumped over the river.
