वालिवधोत्तरशोकः
Sugriva’s Remorse and Tara’s Lament after Vali’s Death
स्वर्गेऽपि शोकं च विवर्णतां चमया विना प्राप्प्यति वीर वाली।रम्ये नगेन्द्रस्य तटावकाशेविदेहकन्यारहितो यथा त्वम्।।
svarge 'pi śokaṃ ca vivarṇatāṃ ca mayā vinā prāpsyati vīra vālī | ramye nagendrasya taṭāvakāśe videhakanyārahito yathā tvam ||
ಸ್ವರ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ, ಹೇ ವೀರ, ನನ್ನಿಲ್ಲದೆ ವಾಲಿ ಶೋಕವನ್ನೂ ವರ್ಣಹೀನತೆಯನ್ನೂ ಪಡೆಯುವನು—ರಮ್ಯವಾದ ಪರ್ವತರಾಜನ ತಟಪ್ರದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ನೀನು ವಿದೇಹಕನ್ಯೆಯಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಆನಂದವಿಲ್ಲದಿರುವಂತೆ.
'O Rama! Vali will experience sorrow and become pale bereft of me even in heaven just as you are filled with sorrow even on a delightful mountain slope bereft of princess of Videha.
