4.22.1
वीक्षमाणस्तु मन्दासुः सर्वतो मन्दमुच्छ्वसन्।
आदावेव तु सुग्रीवं ददर्शानुजमग्रतः ॥ ४.२२.१ ॥
Looking all around, breathing faintly and slowly, Vālī first saw his younger brother Sugrīva before him.
4.22.2
तं प्राप्तविजयं वाली सुग्रीवं प्लवगेश्वरम्।
आभाष्य व्यक्तया वाचा सस्नेहमिदमब्रवीत् ॥ ४.२२.२ ॥
Vālī, addressing Sugrīva, lord of the monkeys, who had won the victory, spoke these words affectionately in clear speech.
4.22.3
सुग्रीव दोषेण न मां गन्तुमर्हसि किल्बिषात्।
कृष्यमाणं भविष्येण बुद्धिमोहेन मां बलात् ॥ ४.२२.३ ॥
Sugrīva, you should not let me go from this fault, from this sin, I who am being dragged by force by what is to come, by the delusion of my intellect.
4.22.4
युगपद् विहितं तात न मन्ये सुखमावयोः।
सौहार्दं भ्रातृयुक्तं हि तदिदं जातमन्यथा ॥ ४.२२.४ ॥
Dear brother, I do not think happiness was ordained for us both at the same time; this friendship proper to brothers has turned out otherwise.
4.22.5
प्रतिपद्य त्वमद्यैव राज्यमेषां वनौकसाम्।
मामप्यद्यैव गच्छन्तं विद्धि वैवस्वतक्षयम् ॥ ४.२२.५ ॥
Today you obtain the kingdom of these forest-dwelling monkeys; and know that today I too am going to the abode of Vaivasvata (Yama).
4.22.6
जीवितं च हि राज्यं च श्रियं च विपुलां तथा।
प्रजहाम्येष वै तूर्णमहं चागर्हितं यशः ॥ ४.२२.६ ॥
Life, kingdom and vast splendor—these I now give up; and my unblemished fame too I quickly give up.
4.22.7
अस्यां त्वहमवस्थायां वीर वक्ष्यामि यद् वचः।
यद्यप्यसुकरं राजन् कर्तुमेव त्वमर्हसि ॥ ४.२२.७ ॥
In this condition, O hero, I shall speak the word; though it is not easy to do, O king, you ought indeed to do it.
4.22.8
सुखार्हं सुखसंवृद्धं बालमेनमबालिशम्।
बाष्पपूर्णमुखं पश्य भूमौ पतितमङ्गदम् ॥ ४.२२.८ ॥
Look at Aṅgada, deserving of happiness, raised in comfort, a child yet not foolish, fallen upon the ground with his face full of tears.
4.22.9
मम प्राणैः प्रियतरं पुत्रं पुत्रमिवौरसम्।
मया हीनमहीनार्थं सर्वतः परिपालय ॥ ४.२२.९ ॥
Protect in every way this son, dearer than my own life, like a son born of my own body, who is bereft of me yet lacks nothing.
4.22.10
त्वमप्यस्य पिता दाता परित्राता च सर्वशः।
भयेष्वभयदश्चैव यथाहं प्लवगेश्वर ॥ ४.२२.१० ॥
You too are his father, giver, and protector in every way, and a giver of fearlessness in dangers, just as I am, O lord of the monkeys.
4.22.11
एष तारात्मजः श्रीमांस्त्वया तुल्यपराक्रमः।
रक्षसां च वधे तेषामग्रतस्ते भविष्यति ॥ ४.२२.११ ॥
This glorious son of Tārā, equal to you in valour, will be before you in the slaying of those rākṣasas.
4.22.12
अनुरूपाणि कर्माणि विक्रम्य बलवान् रणे।
करिष्यत्येष तारेयस्तेजस्वी तरुणोऽङ्गदः ॥ ४.२२.१२ ॥
The strong, radiant, young son of Tārā, Aṅgada, having shown his valour in battle, will perform deeds fitting to himself.
4.22.13
सुषेणदुहिता चेयमर्थसूक्ष्मविनिश्चये।
औत्पातिके च विविधे सर्वतः परिनिष्ठिता ॥ ४.२२.१३ ॥
This daughter of Suṣeṇa is thoroughly skilled in the subtle judgment of matters and in all kinds of omens.
4.22.14
यदेषा साध्विति ब्रूयात् कार्यं तन्मुक्तसंशयम्।
नहि तारामतं किंचिदन्यथा परिवर्तते ॥ ४.२२.१४ ॥
If she says, 'It is good,' then take that action without doubt; for Tārā's judgment never changes in any way.
4.22.15
राघवस्य च ते कार्यं कर्तव्यमविशङ्कया।
स्यादधर्मो ह्यकरणे त्वां च हिंस्यादमानितः ॥ ४.२२.१५ ॥
You must carry out Rāghava's task without hesitation, for not doing it would be unrighteousness, and the dishonoured one would harm you.
4.22.16
इमां च मालामाधत्स्व दिव्यां सुग्रीव काञ्चनीम्।
उदारा श्रीः स्थिता ह्यस्यां सम्प्रजह्यान्मृते मयि ॥ ४.२२.१६ ॥
O Sugrīva, put on this divine golden garland; in it noble Śrī (fortune) dwells, and when I am dead she will abandon it.
4.22.17
इत्येवमुक्तः सुग्रीवो वालिना भ्रातृसौहृदात्।
हर्षं त्यक्त्वा पुनर्दीनो ग्रहग्रस्त इवोडुराट् ॥ ४.२२.१७ ॥
Thus addressed by Vāli out of brotherly affection, Sugrīva set aside his joy and grew downcast again, like the moon seized by an eclipse.
4.22.18
तद्वालिवचनाच्छान्तः कुर्वन् युक्तमतन्द्रितः।
जग्राह सोऽभ्यनुज्ञातो मालां तां चैव काञ्चनीम् ॥ ४.२२.१८ ॥
Calmed by Vāli's words, doing what was fitting and without delay, he took the golden garland with his permission.
4.22.19
तां मालां काञ्चनीं दत्त्वा दृष्ट्वा चैवात्मजं स्थितम्।
संसिद्धः प्रेत्यभावाय स्नेहादङ्गदमब्रवीत् ॥ ४.२२.१९ ॥
Having given that golden garland, and seeing his son Aṅgada standing there, resolved for the passage after death, he spoke to Aṅgada out of affection.
4.22.20
देशकालौ भजस्वाद्य क्षममाणः प्रियाप्रिये।
सुखदुःखसहः काले सुग्रीववशगो भव ॥ ४.२२.२० ॥
Today, observe place and time, bearing what is pleasant and unpleasant, enduring joy and sorrow; be submissive to Sugrīva in due time.
4.22.21
यथा हि त्वं महाबाहो लालितः सततं मया।
न तथा वर्तमानं त्वां सुग्रीवो बहु मन्यते ॥ ४.२२.२१ ॥
O mighty-armed one, as I have always cherished you, so does Sugrīva not greatly value you in your present conduct.
4.22.22
नास्यामित्रैर्गतं गच्छेर्मा शत्रुभिररिंदम।
भर्तुरर्थपरो दान्तः सुग्रीववशगो भव ॥ ४.२२.२२ ॥
O subduer of foes, do not go the way of his enemies; intent on your lord's good, self-controlled, be submissive to Sugrīva.
4.22.23
न चातिप्रणयः कार्यः कर्तव्योऽप्रणयश्च ते।
उभयं हि महादोषं तस्मादन्तरदृग् भव ॥ ४.२२.२३ ॥
Neither should excessive affection be shown, nor should you lack affection; both are great faults. Therefore, be one who sees the inner truth.
4.22.24
इत्युक्त्वाथ विवृत्ताक्षः शरसम्पीडितो भृशम्।
विवृतैर्दशनैर्भीमैर्बभूवोत्क्रान्तजीवितः ॥ ४.२२.२४ ॥
Having said this, greatly tormented by the arrow, his eyes rolled back, baring his terrible teeth, he became one whose life had departed.
4.22.25
ततो विचुक्रुशुस्तत्र वानरा हतयूथपाः।
परिदेवयमानास्ते सर्वे प्लवगसत्तमाः ॥ ४.२२.२५ ॥
Then the monkeys there, whose leaders had been slain, set up a cry; lamenting, all those best of leapers wept.
4.22.26
किष्किन्धा ह्यद्य शून्या च स्वर्गते वानरेश्वरे।
उद्यानानि च शून्यानि पर्वताः काननानि च ॥ ४.२२.२६ ॥
Indeed, today Kiṣkindhā is empty, the lord of the monkeys having gone to heaven; the gardens are empty, and the mountains and the forests.
4.22.27
हते प्लवगशार्दूले निष्प्रभा वानराः कृताः।
यस्य वेगेन महता काननानि वनानि च ॥ ४.२२.२७ ॥
With the tiger among leapers slain, the monkeys have been made without lustre; by whose great velocity even forest groves and woods (trembled).
4.22.28
पुष्पौघेणानुबद्ध्यन्ते करिष्यति तदद्य कः।
येन दत्तं महद् युद्धं गन्धर्वस्य महात्मनः ॥ ४.२२.२८ ॥
Who now will bind them with masses of flowers? Who will now do (it), he who gave the great battle to the great-souled Gandharva?
4.22.29
गोलभस्य महाबाहोर्दश वर्षाणि पञ्च च।
नैव रात्रौ न दिवसे तद् युद्धमुपशाम्यति ॥ ४.२२.२९ ॥
That battle with Golabha, the mighty-armed, went on for fifteen years; neither by night nor by day did that battle come to rest.
4.22.30
ततः षोडशमे वर्षे गोलभो विनिपातितः।
तं हत्वा दुर्विनीतं तु वाली दंष्ट्राकरालवान्।
सर्वाभयंकरोऽस्माकं कथमेष निपातितः ॥ ४.२२.३० ॥
Then in the sixteenth year Golabha was struck down; having slain that insolent one, Vālī, fearsome with tusk-like fangs, terror to all of us, how has this one been felled?
4.22.31
हते तु वीरे प्लवगाधिपे तदा
प्लवङ्गमास्तत्र न शर्म लेभिरे।
वनेचराः सिंहयुते महावने
यथा हि गावो निहते गवां पतौ ॥ ४.२२.३१ ॥
When that hero, lord of the leapers, was slain, the monkeys there found no peace—just as cows in a great forest haunted by lions find no rest when their lord, the bull, is killed.
4.22.32
ततस्तु तारा व्यसनार्णवप्लुता
मृतस्य भर्तुर्वदनं समीक्ष्य सा।
जगाम भूमिं परिरभ्य वालिनं
महाद्रुमं छिन्नमिवाश्रिता लता ॥ ४.२२.३२ ॥
Then Tārā, plunged into an ocean of calamity, saw her dead husband's face; she embraced Vālī and fell to the ground, like a creeper clinging to a great tree that has been cut down.
