ताराविलापः
Tārā’s Lament over Vāli
विशुद्धसत्त्वाभिजन प्रिययुद्ध मम प्रिय।मामनाथां विहायैकां गतस्त्वमसि मानद।।
viśuddha-sattvābhijana priya-yuddha mama priya | mām anāthāṃ vihāyaikāṃ gatas tvam asi mānada ||
ହେ ମୋ ପ୍ରିୟ—ବିଶୁଦ୍ଧ ସତ୍ତ୍ୱ ଓ ଉତ୍ତମ କୁଳଜନ୍ମ ଥିବା, ଯୁଦ୍ଧପ୍ରିୟ! ହେ ମାନଦ, ମୋତେ ଅନାଥା ଏକାକୀ ଛାଡ଼ି ତୁମେ ଚାଲିଗଲା।
'O venerable hero, born in a pure and noble family, you are a lover of battles. Now you have left me an orphan.
The verse reflects the dharmic expectation of protection within family life—when the protector falls, dependents face vulnerability, revealing the social-ethical weight of kingship and household duty.
Tārā addresses the dying Vāli as her protector, grieving that his death leaves her without support.
Vāli’s noble birth and honor-bestowing stature are affirmed, even amid lament.
