اے منوجیندر کے فرزند! اس غضب کی جڑ کیا ہے—کون ہے جو تمہارے فرمانِ گفتار پر قائم نہ رہا؟ اور کون بےخوف ہو کر اُس دَوَ آگ کے قریب جائے گا جو خشک درختوں کے جنگل پر ٹوٹ پڑے؟

FAQs

Respect for rightful authority and satya (truth/keeping one’s word): Tārā implies that disobedience to a just command invites consequences, like approaching a forest fire.

Tārā opens mediation by asking Lakṣmaṇa why he is enraged and who has violated his directive.

Courageous candor and rhetorical skill—Tārā speaks plainly while still aiming to calm.
