Tara’s Lament and Counsel after Vali’s Fall
तामवेक्ष्य तु सुग्रीवः क्रोशन्तीं कुररीमिव।विषादमगमत्कष्टं दृष्ट्वा चाङ्गदमागतम्।।
tām avekṣya tu sugrīvaḥ krośantīṃ kurarīm iva | viṣādam agamat kaṣṭaṃ dṛṣṭvā cāṅgadam āgatam ||
اسے دیکھ کر، جو کورری (اوسپرے) کی طرح چیخ چیخ کر رو رہی تھی، اور انگد کو مایوسی میں آیا ہوا دیکھ کر، سُگریو پر سخت اور دردناک غم و افسردگی چھا گئی۔
Tara saw the terror-stricken monkeys running helter-skelter, like the herd of deer whose leader who had strayed had been killed.
