يا ابن الملوك، ما أصل هذا الغضب—ومن ذا لم يثبت على أمرك المنطوق؟ ومن الذي يقترب بلا خوف من حريق الغابة إذا اندفع على غابةٍ من أشجارٍ يابسة؟
'O noble prince! what is the cause of your anger? Who has disrespected your command? Who can approach without fear forest fire rushing towards a thicket of dried pieces of wood?'
FAQs
Respect for rightful authority and satya (truth/keeping one’s word): Tārā implies that disobedience to a just command invites consequences, like approaching a forest fire.
Tārā opens mediation by asking Lakṣmaṇa why he is enraged and who has violated his directive.
Courageous candor and rhetorical skill—Tārā speaks plainly while still aiming to calm.
