Wahai Tārā, segeralah bawa usungan itu dengan tergesa-gesa; pada saat ini, ketangkasan yang terarah dan tersusun rapi amatlah wajar.
'O Tara! quickly get a swift-moving litter fastened with ropes specially suitable for this occasion.
Timely performance of duty: in rites and public moments, prompt and orderly action is itself a form of respect and righteousness.
Lakṣmaṇa instructs Tārā to arrange a litter for transporting Vāli’s body for cremation.
Tārā’s competence and composure—supporting necessary rites despite personal sorrow.
