Tara’s Counsel to Vali on Sugriva’s Roar and Rama’s Alliance
साधु क्रोधमिमं वीर नदीवेगमिवागतम्।शयनादुत्थितः काल्यं त्यज भुक्तामिव स्रजम्।।
sādhu krodham imaṃ vīra nadī-vegam ivāgatam | śayanād utthitaḥ kālyaṃ tyaja bhuktām iva srajam ||
“O bayani, ang bugso ng galit na ito’y dumating sa iyo na parang rumaragasang ilog. Bagama’t likas itong sumiklab sa pagbangon mo ngayong umaga, iwaksi mo ito—gaya ng marunong na nagtatapon ng nagamit nang kuwintas ng bulaklak.”
'O valiant Vali! anger has overtaken you like the flood of a river. It is natural for you to be angry at this time, but shake off your anger just as the wise discard a flower garland already used up.
