वाली–रामसंवादः
Rama’s Justification to Vali on Rājadharma
मद्दोषकृतदोषां तां यथा तारां तपस्विनीम्।सुग्रीवो नावमन्येत तथाऽवस्थातुमर्हसि।।
maddoṣa-kṛta-doṣāṃ tāṃ yathā tārāṃ tapasvinīm | sugrīvo nāvamanyeta tathā avasthātum arhasi ||
至于塔罗(Tārā)——因我自身之过而受苦的那位苦行圣女——你当使须格利婆不轻慢、不羞辱那受难的女子;你应确保她得到正当而恭敬的对待。
'I hope Tara will not be made to suffer because of my offence. Make Sugriva not to run wretched Tara down.
Dharma prohibits compounding harm: those already burdened by another’s wrongdoing should not be further dishonored; the righteous must prevent humiliation and ensure dignity.
Vali anticipates the new regime under Sugriva and asks Rama to safeguard Tara’s status and dignity after Vali’s death.
Protective justice—using authority to prevent abuse of power over the vulnerable.
