4.15.1
अथ तस्य निनादं तं सुग्रीवस्य महात्मनः।
शुश्रावान्तःपुरगतो वाली भ्रातुरमर्षणः ॥ ४.१५.१ ॥
Then Vālī, who was in the inner apartments, heard that roar of the great-souled Sugrīva; he could not bear his brother's challenge.
4.15.2
श्रुत्वा तु तस्य निनदं सर्वभूतप्रकम्पनम्।
मदश्चैकपदे नष्टः क्रोधश्चापादितो महान् ॥ ४.१५.२ ॥
Hearing that roar which shakes all creatures, his pride vanished in an instant, and great anger was aroused.
4.15.3
ततो रोषपरीताङ्गो वाली स कनकप्रभः।
उपरक्त इवादित्यः सद्यो निष्प्रभतां गतः ॥ ४.१५.३ ॥
Then Vālī, his limbs overcome by rage, golden of hue, at once became dim like the sun in eclipse.
4.15.4
वाली दंष्ट्राकरालस्तु क्रोधाद् दीप्ताग्निलोचनः।
भात्युत्पतितपद्माभः समृणाल इव ह्रदः ॥ ४.१५.४ ॥
Vālī, terrible with his fangs, eyes blazing like fire from anger, shone like a lake with lotuses risen on their stalks.
4.15.5
शब्दं दुर्मर्षणं श्रुत्वा निष्पपात ततो हरिः।
वेगेन च पदन्यासैर्दारयन्निव मेदिनीम् ॥ ४.१५.५ ॥
Hearing that unbearable sound, the monkey sprang forth swiftly, as if splitting the earth with the force of his steps.
4.15.6
तं तु तारा परिष्वज्य स्नेहाद् दर्शितसौहृदा।
उवाच त्रस्तसम्भ्रान्ता हितोदर्कमिदं वचः ॥ ४.१५.६ ॥
Embracing him out of affection and showing her friendship, Tārā, frightened and distraught, spoke these words with a beneficial aim.
4.15.7
साधु क्रोधमिमं वीर नदीवेगमिवागतम्।
शयनादुत्थितः काल्यं त्यज भुक्तामिव स्रजम् ॥ ४.१५.७ ॥
O hero, cast off this anger that has come upon you like a river's rush, as one casts off a garland worn in the morning after rising from sleep.
4.15.8
काल्यमेतेन संग्रामं करिष्यसि च वानर।
वीर ते शत्रुबाहुल्यं फल्गुता वा न विद्यते ॥ ४.१५.८ ॥
O monkey, O hero, tomorrow you will fight with him; yet your enemy's strength is great, and there is no slightness in him.
4.15.9
सहसा तव निष्क्रामो मम तावन्न रोचते।
श्रूयतामभिधास्यामि यन्निमित्तं निवार्यते ॥ ४.१५.९ ॥
Your rash going out does not please me now. Listen, and I will tell you the reason why you are being held back.
4.15.10
पूर्वमापतितः क्रोधात् स त्वामाह्वयते युधि।
निष्पत्य च निरस्तस्ते हन्यमानो दिशो गतः ॥ ४.१५.१० ॥
Earlier, in anger, he came and challenges you to battle; having come out and been driven off by you, struck down, he fled in all directions.
4.15.11
त्वया तस्य निरस्तस्य पीडितस्य विशेषतः।
इहैत्य पुनराह्वानं शङ्कां जनयतीव मे ॥ ४.१५.११ ॥
Defeated by you and especially hurt, his coming back here to challenge you again arouses suspicion in me.
4.15.12
दर्पश्च व्यवसायश्च यादृशस्तस्य नर्दतः।
निनादस्य च संरम्भो नैतदल्पं हि कारणम् ॥ ४.१५.१२ ॥
The pride and resolve of his roaring, and the fierce vehemence of that roar, are not a small reason at all.
4.15.13
नासहायमहं मन्ये सुग्रीवं तमिहागतम्।
अवष्टब्धसहायश्च यमाश्रित्यैष गर्जति ॥ ४.१५.१३ ॥
I do not think Sugrīva, who has come here, is without an ally; the one on whose support he roars has firmly sustained him.
4.15.14
प्रकृत्या निपुणश्चैव बुद्धिमांश्चैव वानरः।
नापरीक्षितवीर्येण सुग्रीवः सख्यमेष्यति ॥ ४.१५.१४ ॥
Sugrīva, this monkey who is by nature skilled and wise, will not seek friendship with one whose valour has not been tested.
4.15.15
पूर्वमेव मया वीर श्रुतं कथयतो वचः।
अङ्गदस्य कुमारस्य वक्ष्याम्यद्य हितं वचः ॥ ४.१५.१५ ॥
O hero, I have already heard the words spoken by the prince Aṅgada; now I shall speak his beneficial words.
4.15.16
अङ्गदस्तु कुमारोऽयं वनान्तमुपनिर्गतः।
प्रवृत्तिस्तेन कथिता चारैरासीन्निवेदिता ॥ ४.१५.१६ ॥
The prince Aṅgada went out to the edge of the forest, and the news reported by the spies was brought to me through him.
4.15.17
अयोध्याधिपतेः पुत्रौ शूरौ समरदुर्जयौ।
इक्ष्वाकूणां कुले जातौ प्रथितौ रामलक्ष्मणौ ॥ ४.१५.१७ ॥
The two sons of the lord of Ayodhyā, heroes unconquerable in battle, born in the Ikṣvāku line, renowned Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa.
4.15.18
सुग्रीवप्रियकामार्थं प्राप्तौ तत्र दुरासदौ।
स ते भ्रातुर्हि विख्यातः सहायो रणकर्मणि ॥ ४.१५.१८ ॥
Those two, hard to approach, have come there to fulfil Sugrīva's dear desire; they are the renowned allies in your brother's warlike deeds.
4.15.19
रामः परबलामर्दी युगान्ताग्निरिवोत्थितः।
निवासवृक्षः साधूनामापन्नानां परा गतिः ॥ ४.१५.१९ ॥
Rāma, crusher of enemy hosts, risen like the fire at the end of an age, is the shelter-tree of the good and the supreme refuge of those in distress.
4.15.20
आर्तानां संश्रयश्चैव यशसश्चैकभाजनम्।
ज्ञानविज्ञानसम्पन्नो निदेशे निरतः पितुः ॥ ४.१५.२० ॥
He is the refuge of the afflicted and the sole vessel of fame; endowed with knowledge and wisdom, he is devoted to his father's command.
4.15.21
धातूनामिव शैलेन्द्रो गुणानामाकरो महान्।
तत् क्षमो न विरोधस्ते सह तेन महात्मना ॥ ४.१५.२१ ॥
As the lord of mountains is a great mine of minerals, so he is a great mine of virtues; therefore it is not fitting for you to be in enmity with that high-souled one.
4.15.22
दुर्जयेनाप्रमेयेण रामेण रणकर्मसु।
शूर वक्ष्यामि ते किंचिन्न चेच्छाम्यभ्यसूयितुम् ॥ ४.१५.२२ ॥
Against Rāma, unconquerable and immeasurable in deeds of battle — O hero, I will say something to you, for I do not wish to find fault with you.
4.15.23
श्रूयतां क्रियतां चैव तव वक्ष्यामि यद्धितम्।
यौवराज्येन सुग्रीवं तूर्णं साध्वभिषेचय ॥ ४.१५.२३ ॥
Listen and act: I will tell you what is beneficial to you — quickly and properly anoint Sugrīva as heir-apparent.
4.15.24
विग्रहं मा कृथा वीर भ्रात्रा राजन् यवीयसा।
अहं हि ते क्षमं मन्ये तेन रामेण सौहृदम् ॥ ४.१५.२४ ॥
O heroic king, do not make strife with your younger brother; I think friendship with that Rāma is indeed fitting for you.
4.15.25
सुग्रीवेण च सम्प्रीतिं वैरमुत्सृज्य दूरतः।
लालनीयो हि ते भ्राता यवीयानेष वानरः ॥ ४.१५.२५ ॥
Give up enmity and make friends with Sugrīva. This monkey is your younger brother, one to be cherished.
4.15.26
तत्र वा सन्निहस्थो वा सर्वथा बन्धुरेव ते।
नहि तेन समं बन्धुं भुवि पश्यामि कंचन ॥ ४.१५.२६ ॥
Whether he is there or near at hand, in every way he is your kinsman. On earth I see no kinsman equal to him.
4.15.27
दानमानादिसत्कारैः कुरुष्व प्रत्यनन्तरम्।
वैरमेतत् समुत्सृज्य तव पार्श्वे स तिष्ठतु ॥ ४.१५.२७ ॥
Return his goodwill with gifts, honour and other courtesies. Let him stand at your side, with this enmity set aside.
4.15.28
सुग्रीवो विपुलग्रीवो महाबन्धुर्मतस्तव।
भ्रातृसौहृदमालम्ब्य नान्या गतिरिहास्ति ते ॥ ४.१५.२८ ॥
Sugrīva, the broad-necked, is regarded as your great kinsman. Except by embracing brotherly affection, there is no other course open to you here.
4.15.29
यदि ते मत्प्रियं कार्यं यदि चावैषि मां हिताम्।
याच्यमानः प्रियत्वेन साधु वाक्यं कुरुष्व मे ॥ ४.१५.२९ ॥
If you wish to do what pleases me, and if you know me to be your well-wisher, then, being asked out of affection, do as I counsel.
4.15.30
प्रसीद पथ्यं शृणु जल्पितं हि मे
न रोषमेवानुविधातुमर्हसि।
क्षमो हि ते कोशलराजसूनुना
न विग्रहः शक्रसमानतेजसा ॥ ४.१५.३० ॥
Be gracious, and hear my wholesome words. You should not simply follow your anger. It is not fitting for you to be at odds with the son of the king of Kośala, whose splendour equals Indra's.
4.15.31
तदा हि तारा हितमेव वाक्यं
तं वालिनं पथ्यमिदं बभाषे।
न रोचते तद् वचनं हि तस्य
कालाभिपन्नस्य विनाशकाले ॥ ४.१५.३१ ॥
Then Tārā spoke to Vālin these beneficial and wholesome words; but the words did not please him, for he was seized by time, and the time of his destruction had come.
