Vali’s Final Counsel and the Succession Charge
यदेषा साध्विति ब्रूयात्कार्यं तन्मुक्तसंशयम्।न हि तारामतं किञ्चिदन्यथा परिवर्तते।।
yad eṣā sādhv iti brūyāt kāryaṃ tan mukta-saṃśayam | na hi tārā-mataṃ kiñcid anyathā parivartate ||
ಅವಳು ‘ಸಾಧು’ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳುವದೇನು ಇದ್ದರೂ, ಆ ಕಾರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಸಂಶಯವಿಲ್ಲದೆ ನೆರವೇರಿಸಬೇಕು; ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ತಾರೆಯ ಮತವು ಅಣುಮಾತ್ರವೂ ಬೇರೆ ರೀತಿಯಾಗಿ ತಿರುಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
'Tara's opinion is never wrong. It does not change. Whatever she speaks is right and should be carried out without any doubt.
