Vali’s Pursuit of Mayavi and the Cave Episode
नर्दतामसुराणां च ध्वनिर्मे श्रोत्रमागतः।निरस्तस्य च सङ्ग्रामे क्रोशतोनिस्स्वनो गुरोः4.9.18।।
nardatām asurāṇāṃ ca dhvanir me śrotram āgataḥ | nirastasya ca saṅgrāme krośato nissvano guroḥ || 4.9.18 ||
传入我耳中的,唯有阿修罗的咆哮;在战阵之中,我既未听见呼喊,也未听见兄长的任何声音。
'I heard the roaring voices of the demons and not the yelling of my brother engaged in the duel.
Caution in judgment: Sugrīva relies on what is heard (and not heard), showing how dharmic decisions often arise amid incomplete information.
Outside the cave, Sugrīva hears only demonic roars and not Vāli’s voice, reinforcing his fear that Vāli has fallen.
Attentiveness and concern—he listens for his brother’s voice as a sign of survival.
