ताराशोकविनोदनम् (Consolation of Tara and Counsel on Succession)
गुणदोषकृतं जन्तुस्स्वकर्म फलहेतुकम्।अव्यग्रस्तदवाप्नोति सर्वं प्रेत्य शुभाशुभम्।।
aṅgada-pratirūpāṇāṃ putrāṇām ekataḥ śatam | hatasyāpy asya vīrasya gātra-saṃśleṣaṇaṃ varam ||
Even a hundred sons resembling Aṅgada, all together, are not equal to this: it is better to embrace the body of this hero—even slain.
'On departing from this mortal world an embodied soul reaps gradually the good and evil fruits of action performed under the notion of virtue or vice with an eye to their good or evil consequences.
Fidelity and truth of affection: Tārā insists that relational dharma is not replaceable by substitutes; love and loyalty are not measured by utility.
Tārā rejects the idea that Aṅgada’s future or other substitutes can compensate for her immediate loss of Vāli.
Constancy: unwavering attachment to her husband, even in death.
