Mothers who were carrying their baby home through the jungle after their day's work in the fields kept quiet while walking.
It means that they were singing once, but then they kept quiet otherwise (lest) they might disturb the sleep of honorable (venerable) herd-robber or a tiger (because he eats animals in herds like sheep, etc.)
This phrase "venerable herd-robber" is actually an oxymoron (two words of opposite meaning written one after another), because the word venerable means honoured, or respected, and right after that it says herd-robber, which is someone that nobody respects.
