किष्किन्धाप्रवेशः—लक्ष्मणस्य कोपः, तारासान्त्वम्, सुग्रीवदर्शनम्
Lakshmana Enters Kishkindha: Anger, Tara’s Mediation, and Sugriva Encountered
सा प्रस्खलन्ती मदविह्वलाक्षीप्रलम्बकाञ्चीगुण हेमसूत्रा।सलक्षणा लक्ष्मणसन्निधानंजगाम तारा नमिताङ्गयष्टिः।।।।
sā praskhalantī madavihvalākṣī pralamba-kāñcīguṇa-hemasūtrā | salakṣaṇā lakṣmaṇa-sannidhānaṃ jagāma tārā namitāṅga-yaṣṭiḥ ||
塔罗步履踉跄,醉意迷蒙其目,腰间金绳垂散;她羞惭于自身情状,躬身低伏,前往罗什曼那近前。
Tara, whose eyes were drowsy with drink, whose long gold string of the girdle was hanging loose appeared before Lakshmana with faltering steps and bent low, bashful of her appearance. (It suggests a state of exhaustion after sexual pleasures).
Even amid personal weakness or embarrassment, one may still choose responsible action—Tārā moves to address a crisis rather than ignore it.
Tārā is sent/comes forward to face Lakṣmaṇa and mediate, as tensions rise due to Sugrīva’s delay in fulfilling his promise to Rāma.
Courage to intervene and mediate, despite shame and physical unsteadiness.
