वालि–मायावी–बिलप्रवेशः
Vali’s Pursuit of Mayavi and the Cave Episode
अथ दीर्घस्य कालस्य बिलात्तस्माद्विनिस्सृतम्।सफेनं रुधिरं रक्तमहं दृष्ट्वा सुदुःखितः।।4.9.17।।
atha dīrghasya kālasya bilāt tasmād viniḥsṛtam | saphenaṃ rudhiraṃ raktaṃ ahaṃ dṛṣṭvā suduḥkhitaḥ || 4.9.17 ||
پھر طویل مدت کے بعد میں نے دیکھا کہ اُس غار سے جھاگ آلود خون، سرخ لہو بہہ کر باہر نکل رہا ہے؛ یہ دیکھ کر میں سخت غمگین ہو گیا۔
Acting responsibly on evidence: the verse highlights how visible signs can compel moral and practical decisions, even when certainty is painful.
Sugrīva observes foaming blood emerging from the cave, which he interprets as a sign that Vāli has been killed.
Sensitivity and compassion—his immediate response is grief rather than self-interest.
