Tara’s Counsel to Vali on Sugriva’s Roar and Rama’s Alliance
साधु क्रोधमिमं वीर नदीवेगमिवागतम्।शयनादुत्थितः काल्यं त्यज भुक्तामिव स्रजम्।।
sādhu krodham imaṃ vīra nadī-vegam ivāgatam | śayanād utthitaḥ kālyaṃ tyaja bhuktām iva srajam ||
“वीर, यह क्रोध का वेग बाढ़-सी नदी के समान तुम पर आ पड़ा है। अभी शय्या से उठे हो, यह स्वाभाविक है; पर इसे त्याग दो—जैसे विवेकी लोग भोगी हुई माला को छोड़ देते हैं।”
'O valiant Vali! anger has overtaken you like the flood of a river. It is natural for you to be angry at this time, but shake off your anger just as the wise discard a flower garland already used up.
