Lakurim Chhaya is based on a goatherd song from the eastern hills of Nepal. Shiva Kumar Khatri learned this melody from his elders during his young goat-herding days in Bhojpur. This is the rarest goatherd tune and must be one of its kind, as we could not find anyone aware of it during our research in the eastern hills of Nepal. The song is recorded live at Ghopte Bheer, Ahale, Sunsari.

लाकुरिम छाँया, जिउ खाने बेथा हो, मन खाने माया
पोहोर साल, खोरिया खनी, छर्या जुनेलो
यै आउँदो साल, खोले पकाई, खाउँला नुनिलो
त्रिवेणी दोभान, लाएको माया लाग्छ, हिजो सरह
एकांगी जीवन, मैना राजाको मनमा, चल्यो बिरह
गाई भैंसी दुनु, मलाई सम्झेर, दिन रात नरुनु
धानबाला छोटो, मै मरेपनी हो, दैलोमा फोटो
खाडी चहारी, बस है पियारी, घरबार सिहारी
पानी मुलकोमा, आउँदैछु चाँडै, घामको झुल्कोमा
फूल रानी-वनको, पुगेन धोको, पापी यो मनको
