तारोपदेशः
Tara’s Counsel to Vali on Sugriva’s Roar and Rama’s Alliance
काल्यमेतेन सङ्ग्रामं करिष्यसि च वानर।वीर ते शत्रुबाहुल्यं फल्गुता वा न विद्यते।।
kālyam etena saṅgrāmaṃ kariṣyasi ca vānara | vīra te śatru-bāhulyaṃ phalgutā vā na vidyate ||
О герой-ванара, сразись с ним завтра на рассвете; эта отсрочка не покажет тебя слабым и не будет знаком чрезмерного почтения к врагу.
'O monkey! fight him only tomorrow morning. By this you are not going to prove your weakness or increase your respect for the enemy.
Dharma is not mere haste in battle; strategic restraint can be righteous, preserving clarity and reducing reckless harm.
Tārā proposes postponing the fight until morning, to avoid a rash confrontation.
Measured courage: true valor includes patience and the ability to choose the right time.
