वालिवधोत्तरशोकः — Sugriva’s Remorse and Tara’s Lament after Vali’s Death
स बाष्पपूर्णेन मुखेन वीक्ष्यक्षणेन निर्विण्णमना मनस्वी।जगाम रामस्य शनैस्समीपंभृत्यैर्वृतसम्परिदूयमानः।।
mahābalānāṃ hariyūthapānām idaṃ kulaṃ rāghava mannimittam |
asyāṅgadasyāpy api ca śokatāpād ardhasthita-prāṇam itīva manye ||
O Rāghava, because of me this very line of mighty leaders among the monkeys seems half-dead—especially Angada, scorched by grief and remorse, as though his life-breath were only half remaining.
Face drenched with tears, highly sensitive Sugriva glanced at Tara for a moment.Pained and depressed at heart, and surrounded by attendants, he slowly approached Rama.
Adharma harms not only the perpetrator but the entire community; dharma includes responsibility for the social and familial fallout of one’s actions.
Sugrīva laments that his act has weakened the monkey leadership and left Angada devastated.
Responsibility—Sugrīva acknowledges wider damage rather than treating the act as a private matter.
