Tara’s Counsel to Vali on Sugriva’s Roar and Rama’s Alliance
श्रुत्वा तु तस्य निनदं सर्वभूतप्रकम्पनम्।मदश्चैकपदे नष्टः क्रोधश्चापतितो महान्।।
śrutvā tu tasya ninadaṃ sarvabhūtaprakampanam | madaś caikapade naṣṭaḥ krodhaś cāpatito mahān ||
သတ္တဝါအားလုံးကို တုန်လှုပ်စေသော ထိုဟိန်းသံကို ကြားသော် မာန်မာနသည် တစ်ခဏတည်း ပျောက်ကွယ်သွားပြီး ကြီးမားသော ဒေါသသည် သူ့အပေါ်သို့ တက်ကြွလာ하였다။
The roar (of Sugriva) that frightened all beings gave Vali's vanity a jolt and at once aroused in him violent rage.
FAQs
Unchecked anger clouds dharma: the verse shows how sudden rage can replace reason, pushing one toward harmful action.
Sugrīva’s thunderous challenge is heard; Vāli’s emotional state shifts immediately into intense anger.
By contrast, the need for self-control (dama): the verse highlights the danger when it is absent.
