तारोपदेशः — Tara’s Counsel to Lakshmana
Restraint, Time, and Mobilization
देहधर्मं गतस्यास्य परिश्रान्तस्य लक्ष्मण।अवितृप्तस्य कामेषु कामं क्षन्तुमिहार्हसि।।।।
deha-dharmaṃ gatasya asya pariśrāntasya lakṣmaṇa | avitṛptasya kāmeṣu kāmaṃ kṣantum ihārhasi ||
罗什曼那啊,他既已疲惫,又随顺身欲之性,于诸乐尚未餍足;因此你此刻应当暂且宽恕他的放纵。
'O Lakshmana! you should pardon him since he is not yet satisfied, though tired, with the struggle for the fulfilment of his sensual pleasures.
Dharma balances justice with mercy: when lapse arises from weakness rather than malice, patience and corrective time can be righteous.
Tārā requests Lakṣmaṇa to pardon Sugrīva’s present indulgence and fatigue, instead of escalating conflict within Kiṣkindhā.
Forbearance (kṣamā) in Lakṣmaṇa, and Tārā’s pragmatic compassion aimed at restoring duty without violence.
