ताराविलापः
Tara’s Lament over Vāli
किमप्रियं ते प्रिय चारुवेषमया कृतं नाथ सुतेन वा ते।सहाङ्गदां मां प्रविहाय वीरयत्प्रस्थितो दीर्घ मितः प्रवासम्4.20.24।।
kim apriyaṃ te priya cāruveṣa mayā kṛtaṃ nātha sutena vā te |
sahāṅgadāṃ māṃ pravihāya vīra yat prasthito dīrgham itaḥ pravāsam ||
О возлюбленный, в прекрасных одеждах; о владыка — чем прогневили тебя я или твой сын, что ты, о герой, оставляешь меня вместе с Ангада и уходишь отсюда в столь далёкое и долгое странствие?
'O darling, attractively dressed, you are leaving me and Angada and going too far. What unpleasant deeds we have done (to deserve this).
The verse reflects the ethical psychology of grief: the bereaved searches for causes and faults, reminding readers that sorrow often turns inward and demands compassion rather than judgment.
Tārā, beside the dying Vāli, asks whether she or Aṅgada has offended him, since he is ‘departing’ on the far journey of death.
Tārā’s humility and emotional honesty—she questions herself rather than only blaming others.
