Shloka 4.32.14

किष्किन्धाकाण्डे द्वात्रिंशः सर्गः — Lakshmana’s Anger Reported; Hanuman Advises Propitiation and Timely Mobilization

निर्मलग्रहनक्षत्रा द्यौः प्रनष्टवलाहका।प्रसन्नाश्च दिशस्सर्वास्सरितश्च सरांसि च।।

tvaṃ pramatto na jānīṣe kālaṃ kālavidāṃ vara | phulla-saptacchada-śyāmā pravṛttā tu śarad śivā ||

O best of those who know the seasons, you have grown heedless and do not mark the time: auspicious autumn has arrived, lush and green, with saptacchada blossoms in bloom.

'The sky from which the dark clouds have completely disappeared is illumined with planets and stars. The rivers and tanks as well as all directions are pleasant.

S
Sugrīva
Ś
śarad (autumn)
S
saptacchada (tree/flower)

Dharma requires timely action; neglecting kāla (proper time) turns even capability into failure and becomes a moral lapse in keeping one’s word.

Sugrīva has become complacent after regaining kingship; Tārā points out that the season has turned and the promised campaign must begin.

Alertness and accountability—awareness of time and readiness to fulfill commitments.
