4.25.1
स सुग्रीवं च तारां च साङ्गदां सहलक्ष्मणः।
समानशोकः काकुत्स्थः सान्त्वयन्निदमब्रवीत् ॥ ४.२५.१ ॥
Kākutstha Rāma, together with Lakṣmaṇa and sharing the same sorrow, consoling Sugrīva, Tārā and Aṅgada, spoke these words.
4.25.2
न शोकपरितापेन श्रेयसा युज्यते मृतः।
यदत्रानन्तरं कार्यं तत् समाधातुमर्हथ ॥ ४.२५.२ ॥
The dead gain no good through grief and torment. Therefore you should now accomplish the duty that lies before you.
4.25.3
लोकवृत्तमनुष्ठेयं कृतं वो बाष्पमोक्षणम्।
न कालादुत्तरं किंचित् कर्मशक्यमुपासितुम् ॥ ४.२५.३ ॥
One must follow the conduct of the world: you have shed your tears. Beyond the time allowed, nothing further can rightly be pursued.
4.25.4
नियतिः कारणं लोके नियतिः कर्मसाधनम्।
नियतिः सर्वभूतानां नियोगेष्विह कारणम् ॥ ४.२५.४ ॥
In the world, destiny is the cause; destiny is the means of action. For all beings, destiny is the cause within their appointed duties.
4.25.5
न कर्ता कस्यचित् कश्चिन्नियोगे नापि चेश्वरः।
स्वभावे वर्तते लोकस्तस्य कालः परायणम् ॥ ४.२५.५ ॥
No one is the doer of anything for another, nor is there a lord in the appointment. The world operates by its own nature, and time is its supreme refuge.
4.25.6
न कालः कालमत्येति न कालः परिहीयते।
स्वभावं च समासाद्य न कश्चिदतिवर्तते ॥ ४.२५.६ ॥
Time does not overstep time, and time is not diminished. Having reached its own nature, no one transgresses it.
4.25.7
न कालस्यास्ति बन्धुत्वं न हेतुर्न पराक्रमः।
न मित्रज्ञातिसम्बन्धः कारणं नात्मनो वशः ॥ ४.२५.७ ॥
Time has no kinship, no cause, no valour; neither friends nor kin-ties are its cause, and it is not under one's own control.
4.25.8
किं तु कालपरीणामो द्रष्टव्यः साधु पश्यता।
धर्मश्चार्थश्च कामश्च कालक्रमसमाहिताः ॥ ४.२५.८ ॥
But one who looks rightly should see the maturing of time: dharma, wealth and desire are all arranged in the sequence of time.
4.25.9
इतः स्वां प्रकृतिं वाली गतः प्राप्तः क्रियाफलम्।
सामदानार्थसंयोगैः पवित्रं प्लवगेश्वरः ॥ ४.२५.९ ॥
Vālī has gone from here to his own nature, having obtained the fruit of his action; the lord of the monkeys was purified by the union of conciliation, gifts and profit.
4.25.10
स्वधर्मस्य च संयोगाज्जितस्तेन महात्मना।
स्वर्गः परिगृहीतश्च प्राणानपरिरक्षता ॥ ४.२५.१० ॥
By the union with his own dharma that great-souled one was won; though he did not protect his own life, he obtained heaven.
4.25.11
एषा वै नियतिः श्रेष्ठा यां गतो हरियूथपः।
तदलं परितापेन प्राप्तकालमुपास्यताम् ॥ ४.२५.११ ॥
This is the best destiny, the one the lord of the monkey troops has followed; therefore enough of grief—attend to the time that has come.
4.25.12
वचनान्ते तु रामस्य लक्ष्मणः परवीरहा।
अवदत् प्रश्रितं वाक्यं सुग्रीवं गतचेतसम् ॥ ४.२५.१२ ॥
When Rāma's speech was ended, Lakṣmaṇa, slayer of foes' heroes, spoke humbly to Sugrīva, whose mind was dismayed.
4.25.13
कुरु त्वमस्य सुग्रीव प्रेतकार्यमनन्तरम्।
ताराङ्गदाभ्यां सहितो वालिनो दहनं प्रति ॥ ४.२५.१३ ॥
O Sugrīva, together with Tārā and Aṅgada, perform without delay the funeral rites for him, for Vāli's cremation.
4.25.14
समाज्ञापय काष्ठानि शुष्काणि च बहूनि च।
चन्दनानि च दिव्यानि वालिसंस्कारकारणात् ॥ ४.२५.१४ ॥
Order that dry wood in abundance and divine sandalwood be brought for the funeral rite of Vāli.
4.25.15
समाश्वासय दीनं त्वमङ्गदं दीनचेतसम्।
मा भूर्बालिशबुद्धिस्त्वं त्वदधीनमिदं पुरम् ॥ ४.२५.१५ ॥
Console the grieving Aṅgada; do not become foolish in mind, for this city is now under your rule.
4.25.16
अङ्गदस्त्वानयेन्माल्यं वस्त्राणि विविधानि च।
घृतं तैलमथो गन्धान् यच्चात्र समनन्तरम् ॥ ४.२५.१६ ॥
Let Aṅgada bring garlands, various garments, ghee, oil and fragrances, and whatever else is needed here, without delay.
4.25.17
त्वं तार शिबिकां शीघ्रमादायागच्छ सम्भ्रमात्।
त्वरा गुणवती युक्ता ह्यस्मिन् काले विशेषतः ॥ ४.२५.१७ ॥
O Tārā, take the palanquin quickly and come in haste; at this time especially, such urgency is fitting.
4.25.18
सज्जीभवन्तु प्लवगाः शिबिकावाहनोचिताः।
समर्था बलिनश्चैव निर्हरिष्यन्ति वालिनम् ॥ ४.२५.१८ ॥
Let the monkeys fit to bear the palanquin, capable and strong, make ready; they will carry Vāli out.
4.25.19
एवमुक्त्वा तु सुग्रीवं सुमित्रानन्दवर्धनः।
तस्थौ भ्रातृसमीपस्थो लक्ष्मणः परवीरहा ॥ ४.२५.१९ ॥
Having spoken thus to Sugrīva, Lakṣmaṇa, the increaser of Sumitrā's joy and the slayer of enemy heroes, stood near his brother.
4.25.20
लक्ष्मणस्य वचः श्रुत्वा तारः सम्भ्रान्तमानसः।
प्रविवेश गुहां शीघ्रं शिबिकासक्तमानसः ॥ ४.२५.२० ॥
Hearing Lakṣmaṇa's words, Tārā, with a bewildered mind and her thoughts fixed on the palanquin, quickly entered the cave.
4.25.21
आदाय शिबिकां तारः स तु पर्यापतत् पुनः।
वानरैरुह्यमानां तां शूरैरुद्वहनोचितैः ॥ ४.२५.२१ ॥
Taking the palanquin, Tārā rushed out again, while heroic monkeys, fit for bearing it, were carrying it.
4.25.22
दिव्यां भद्रासनयुतां शिबिकां स्यन्दनोपमाम्।
पक्षिकर्मभिराचित्रां द्रुमकर्मविभूषिताम् ॥ ४.२५.२२ ॥
That divine palanquin, furnished with a noble seat and like a chariot, was richly painted with birds and adorned with designs of trees.

आचितां चित्रपत्तीभिः सुनिविष्टां समन्ततः।
विमानमिव सिद्धानां जालवातायनायुताम् ॥ ४.२५.२३ ॥
Filled with painted panels and well arranged on every side, it was like the sky-chariot of the perfected beings, provided with latticed windows.
4.25.24
सुनियुक्तां विशालां च सुकृतां शिल्पिभिः कृताम्।

Adorned with excellent ornaments and necklaces, graced with variegated garlands, covered with caves and thick forests, decorated with red sandalwood.
4.25.26
पुष्पौघैः समभिच्छन्नां पद्ममालाभिरेव च।
तरुणादित्यवर्णाभिर्भ्राजमानाभिरावृताम् ॥ ४.२५.२६ ॥
Completely covered with masses of flowers, and surrounded by lotus garlands and shining garlands the colour of the young sun.
4.25.27
ईदृशीं शिबिकां दृष्ट्वा रामो लक्ष्मणमब्रवीत्।
क्षिप्रं विनीयतां वाली प्रेतकार्यं विधीयताम् ॥ ४.२५.२७ ॥
Seeing such a palanquin, Rāma said to Lakṣmaṇa: "Let Vālī be taken away quickly, and let his funeral rites be performed."
4.25.28
ततो वालिनमुद्यम्य सुग्रीवः शिबिकां तदा।
आरोपयत विक्रोशन्नङ्गदेन सहैव तु ॥ ४.२५.२८ ॥
Then Sugrīva, lifting Vālī, placed him on the palanquin, crying aloud together with Aṅgada.
4.25.29
आरोप्य शिबिकां चैव वालिनं गतजीवितम्।
अलंकारैश्च विविधैर्माल्यैर्वस्त्रैश्च भूषितम् ॥ ४.२५.२९ ॥
Having placed Vālī, whose life had departed, on the palanquin, he was adorned with various ornaments, garlands and garments.

विश्राणयन्तो रत्नानि विविधानि बहूनि च।
अग्रतः प्लवगा यान्तु शिबिका तदनन्तरम् ॥ ४.२५.३१ ॥
Distributing many jewels of various kinds, let the monkeys go in front, and after them let the palanquin follow.
4.25.32
राज्ञामृद्धिविशेषा हि दृश्यन्ते भुवि यादृशाः।
तादृशैरिह कुर्वन्तु वानरा भर्तृसत्क्रियाम् ॥ ४.२५.३२ ॥
Just as the splendours of kings are seen on earth, so let the monkeys here perform honourable rites for their lord with such things.

तादृशं वालिनः क्षिप्रं प्राकुर्वन्नौर्ध्वदेहिकम्।
अङ्गदं परिरभ्याशु तारप्रभृतयस्तदा ॥ ४.२५.३३ ॥
The funeral rites befitting Vāli were quickly begun; then Tārā and the others, embracing Aṅgada, at once…

ततः प्रणिहिताः सर्वा वानर्योऽस्य वशानुगाः ॥ ४.२५.३४ ॥

4.25.37
वनानि गिरयश्चैव विक्रोशन्तीव सर्वतः।
पुलिने गिरिनद्यास्तु विविक्ते जलसंवृते ॥ ४.२५.३७ ॥
The forests and mountains, too, seemed to wail on every side; on the lonely bank of the mountain river, a place surrounded by water.

अवरोप्य ततः स्कन्धाच्छिबिकां वानरोत्तमाः ॥ ४.२५.३८ ॥

जनं न पश्यसीमं त्वं कस्माच्छोकाभिपीडितम् ॥ ४.२५.४१ ॥
Alas, mighty-armed one, worthy of great honor! Alas, my beloved, look at me! Why do you not look at this person, afflicted by grief?
4.25.42
प्रहृष्टमिह ते वक्त्रं गतासोरपि मानद।
अस्तार्कसमवर्णं च दृश्यते जीवतो यथा ॥ ४.२५.४२ ॥
O giver of honor, even though your breath has gone, your face here appears cheerful, and it shows the colour of the setting sun, looking as it did when you were alive.
4.25.43
एष त्वां रामरूपेण कालः कर्षति वानर।
येन स्म विधवाः सर्वाः कृता एकेषुणा रणे ॥ ४.२५.४३ ॥
O monkey, in Rāma's form Time is dragging you away, the one who in battle made all these women widows with a single arrow.

इमास्तास्तव राजेन्द्र वानर्योऽप्लवगास्तव।
पादैर्विकृष्टमध्वानमागताः किं न बुध्यसे ॥ ४.२५.४४ ॥
O lord of kings, these are your monkey women, no longer able to leap, who have come all this way dragged by their feet. Do you not perceive it?
4.25.45
तवेष्टा ननु चैवेमा भार्याश्चन्द्रनिभाननाः।
इदानीं नेक्षसे कस्मात् सुग्रीवं प्लवगेश्वर ॥ ४.२५.४५ ॥
These are your beloved wives, moon-faced. O lord of monkeys, why do you not look at them now, nor at Sugrīva?

पुरवासिजनश्चायं परिवार्य विषीदति ॥ ४.२५.४६ ॥
O king, these are your ministers headed by Tāra, and this city-dwelling populace, surrounding you, grieves.
4.25.47
विसर्जयैनान् सचिवान् यथापुरमरिंदम।
ततः क्रीडामहे सर्वा वनेषु मदनोत्कटाः ॥ ४.२५.४७ ॥
O subduer of foes, dismiss these ministers as before; then let us all, fiercely aroused by desire, play in the forests.
4.25.48
एवं विलपतीं तारां पतिशोकपरीवृताम्।
उत्थापयन्ति स्म तदा वानर्यः शोककर्शिताः ॥ ४.२५.४८ ॥
Thus lamenting, Tārā, surrounded by grief for her husband, was then raised up by the female monkeys, worn down with sorrow.
4.25.49
सुग्रीवेण ततः सार्धं सोऽङ्गदः पितरं रुदन्।
चितामारोपयामास शोकेनाभिप्लुतेन्द्रियः ॥ ४.२५.४९ ॥
Then, together with Sugrīva, Aṅgada, his senses overwhelmed with grief, weeping, placed his father upon the funeral pyre.
4.25.50
ततोऽग्निं विधिवद् दत्त्वा सोऽपसव्यं चकार ह।
पितरं दीर्घमध्वानं प्रस्थितं व्याकुलेन्द्रियः ॥ ४.२५.५० ॥
Then, having duly offered the fire, he circled the pyre in the reverse direction; his senses agitated, as though his father had set out upon a long road.
4.25.51
संस्कृत्य वालिनं तं तु विधिवत् प्लवगर्षभाः।
आजग्मुरुदकं कर्तुं नदीं शुभजलां शिवाम् ॥ ४.२५.५१ ॥
Having duly performed the rites for Vāli, those foremost of monkeys went to the river of auspicious waters to offer water.
4.25.52
ततस्ते सहितास्तत्र ह्यङ्गदं स्थाप्य चाग्रतः।
सुग्रीवतारासहिताः सिषिचुर्वालिने जलम् ॥ ४.२५.५२ ॥
Then they all together, with Aṅgada placed in front, with Sugrīva and Tārā, poured water for Vāli.
4.25.53
सुग्रीवेणैव दीनेन दीनो भूत्वा महाबलः।
समानशोकः काकुत्स्थः प्रेतकार्याण्यकारयत् ॥ ४.२५.५३ ॥
Grieving as Sugrīva grieved, the mighty Rāma, descendant of Kakutstha, sharing the same sorrow, had the rites for the dead performed.
4.25.54
ततोऽथ तं वालिनमग्र्यपौरुषं
प्रकाशमिक्ष्वाकुवरेषुणा हतम्।
प्रदीप्य दीप्ताग्निसमौजसं तदा
सलक्ष्मणं राममुपेयिवान् हरिः ॥ ४.२५.५४ ॥
Then, displaying that foremost of valiant ones, slain by the best arrow of Ikṣvāku's line, blazing with a splendour like a kindled fire, the monkey (Hanumān) approached Rāma together with Lakṣmaṇa.
