Shloka 4.24.4
वालिवधोत्तरशोकः — Sugriva’s Remorse and Tara’s Lament after Vali’s Death
यथा प्रतिज्ञातमिदं नरेन्द्रकृतं त्वया दृष्टफलं च कर्म।ममाद्य भोगेषु नरेन्द्रपुत्रमनो निवृत्तं सहजीवितेन।।
yathā pratijñātam idaṃ narendra kṛtaṃ tvayā dṛṣṭaphalaṃ ca karma | mamādya bhogeṣu narendraputra mano nivṛttaṃ sahajīvitena ||
Just as was promised, O king, you have done the deed—and its result is plainly seen. Yet today, O prince, my mind has turned away from pleasures, and even from life itself.
'Your majesty! you have struck down Vali as promised and the consequences of your action are seen now. O prince, however, my mind is not interested in the enjoyment of pleasures. I have no interest in life.
It affirms satya (keeping one’s promise) while also confronting the human cost of action—dharma includes accountability for visible consequences.
Tārā acknowledges that Rāma fulfilled his pledged act (Vāli’s slaying) but declares her own withdrawal from worldly enjoyment due to bereavement.
Rāma’s fidelity to promise (satya) is recognized; Tārā’s grief-driven detachment is foregrounded.
