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 ||
「勇士よ、この怒りの奔流は、増水した川の勢いのようにお前に押し寄せた。今起きたばかりで自然に湧くとはいえ、これを捨てよ――賢者がすでに用いた花鬘を捨てるように。」
'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.
