The term here translated as "jungle" is gahana:

The term translated as "wilderness" is kantāra:

The term translated as "puppet show" is visūka:

http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.3:1:2081.pali

Each of these terms is, in this context, compounded with an initial
"diṭṭhi" (i.e., "view(s)").

Best wishes,
