Enraged by the rush of anger on hearing the sound of ornaments, the hero twanged his bowstring, filling the quarters with the sound.
4.33.27
चारित्रेण महाबाहुरपकृष्टः स लक्ष्मणः।
तस्थावेकान्तमाश्रित्य रामकोपसमन्वितः ॥ ४.३३.२७ ॥
The mighty-armed Lakṣmaṇa, restrained by his conduct and filled with Rāma's anger, stood apart in seclusion.

सुव्यक्तमेष सम्प्राप्तः सौमित्रिर्भ्रातृवत्सलः ॥ ४.३३.२९ ॥
As Aṅgada earlier reported to me, it is now clear that Saumitri, fond of his brother, has arrived here.

सरोष इव सम्प्राप्तो येनायं राघवानुजः ॥ ४.३३.३२ ॥
O fair-browed one, why has this younger brother of Rāghava, gentle of mind by nature, come here as if in anger? What is the cause of his wrath?

न खल्वकारणे कोपमाहरेन्नरपुङ्गवः ॥ ४.३३.३३ ॥
O blameless one, do you see any cause for the prince's anger? Indeed, the best of men does not bring on anger without cause.

नहि स्त्रीषु महात्मानः क्वचित् कुर्वन्ति दारुणम् ॥ ४.३३.३६ ॥

ततः कमलपत्राक्षं द्रक्ष्याम्यहमरिंदमम् ॥ ४.३३.३७ ॥

प्रलम्बकाञ्चीगुणहेमसूत्रा।
सलक्षणा लक्ष्मणसंनिधानं
जगाम तारा नमिताङ्गयष्टिः ॥ ४.३३.३८ ॥
Faltering, her eyes bewildered with intoxication, wearing a long golden girdle, graceful and marked with auspicious signs, with her slender body bowed, Tārā went into Lakṣmaṇa's presence.
4.33.39
स तां समीक्ष्यैव हरीशपत्नीं
तस्थावुदासीनतया महात्मा।
अवाङ्मुखोऽभून्मनुजेन्द्रपुत्रः
स्त्रीसंनिकर्षाद् विनिवृत्तकोपः ॥ ४.३३.३९ ॥
Seeing her, the wife of the lord of monkeys, the high-souled one stood with an indifferent air; the prince, son of the lord of men, turned his face downward, and his anger subsided at the nearness of a woman.
4.33.40
सा पानयोगाच्च निवृत्तलज्जा
दृष्टिप्रसादाच्च नरेन्द्रसूनोः।
उवाच तारा प्रणयप्रगल्भं
वाक्यं महार्थं परिसान्त्वरूपम् ॥ ४.३३.४० ॥

किं कोपमूलं मनुजेन्द्रपुत्र
कस्ते न संतिष्ठति वाङ्निदेशे।
कः शुष्कवृक्षं वनमापतन्तं
दावाग्निमासीदति निर्विशङ्कः ॥ ४.३३.४१ ॥
O prince, son of the lord of men, what is the root of your anger? Who does not abide by your word-command? Who, without fear, approaches a forest fire falling upon a wood of dry trees?
4.33.42
स तस्या वचनं श्रुत्वा सान्त्वपूर्वमशङ्कितः।
भूयः प्रणयदृष्टार्थं लक्ष्मणो वाक्यमब्रवीत् ॥ ४.३३.४२ ॥
Hearing her words, Lakṣmaṇa, unafraid, first offering consolation and keeping Sugrīva's affection in view, spoke again these words.
4.33.43
किमयं कामवृत्तस्ते लुप्तधर्मार्थसंग्रहः।
भर्ता भर्तृहिते युक्ते न चैनमवबुध्यसे ॥ ४.३३.४३ ॥
Has your husband, governed by desire, lost his gathering of dharma and artha? You do not even perceive him who ought to be engaged in his lord's welfare.
4.33.44
न चिन्तयति राज्यार्थं सोऽस्मान् शोकपरायणान्।
सामात्यपरिषत् तारे काममेवोपसेवते ॥ ४.३३.४४ ॥
He does not think of the affairs of the kingdom, nor of us who are given over to grief. O Tārā, with his ministers and assembly about him, he indulges only in pleasure.
4.33.45
स मासांश्चतुरः कृत्वा प्रमाणं प्लवगेश्वरः।
व्यतीतांस्तान् मदोदग्रो विहरन् नावबुध्यते ॥ ४.३३.४५ ॥
That lord of the monkeys has set four months as the measure, yet, proud with intoxication and sporting about, he does not notice that those months have already passed.
4.33.46
नहि धर्मार्थसिद्ध्यर्थं पानमेवं प्रशस्यते।
पानादर्थश्च कामश्च धर्मश्च परिहीयते ॥ ४.३३.४६ ॥
Indeed, drinking in this way is not praised for the accomplishment of dharma and artha. From drinking, artha and kāma and dharma too are diminished.
4.33.47
धर्मलोपो महांस्तावत् कृते ह्यप्रतिकुर्वतः।
अर्थलोपश्च मित्रस्य नाशे गुणवतो महान् ॥ ४.३३.४७ ॥
For one who does not repay a deed done to him, the loss of dharma is indeed great; and when a virtuous friend is destroyed, the loss of artha is great too.
4.33.48
मित्रं ह्यर्थगुणश्रेष्ठं सत्यधर्मपरायणम्।
तद्द्वयं तु परित्यक्तं न तु धर्मे व्यवस्थितम् ॥ ४.३३.४८ ॥
A friend foremost in wealth-benefit and virtue, devoted to truth and dharma — those two (wealth and virtue) are abandoned, yet he has not stood firm in dharma.
4.33.49
तदेवं प्रस्तुते कार्ये कार्यमस्माभिरुत्तरम्।
तत् कार्यं कार्यतत्त्वज्ञे त्वमुदाहर्तुमर्हसि ॥ ४.३३.४९ ॥
With the matter thus laid out, our next duty is this; you, who know the essence of duty, are fit to declare that task.
4.33.50
सा तस्य धर्मार्थसमाधियुक्तं
निशम्य वाक्यं मधुरस्वभावम्।
तारा गतार्थे मनुजेन्द्रकार्ये
विश्वासयुक्तं तमुवाच भूयः ॥ ४.३३.५० ॥
Having heard his words, joined to dharma and wealth and sweet in nature, Tārā, full of trust in the accomplishment of the lord of men's affair, spoke to him again.
4.33.51
न कोपकालः क्षितिपालपुत्र
न चापि कोपः स्वजने विधेयः।
त्वदर्थकामस्य जनस्य तस्य
प्रमादमप्यर्हसि वीर सोढुम् ॥ ४.३३.५१ ॥
O son of the protector of the earth, this is no time for anger, nor should anger be shown toward one's own people. Even the lapse of that man who desires your purpose, O hero, you ought to bear.
4.33.52
कोपं कथं नाम गुणप्रकृष्टः
कुमार कुर्यादपकृष्टसत्त्वे।
कस्त्वद्विधः कोपवशं हि गच्छेत्
सत्त्वावरुद्धस्तपसः प्रसूतिः ॥ ४.३३.५२ ॥
O prince, how could one eminent in virtues show anger toward one of base nature? Who like you, restrained by steadfast character and the source of austerity, would fall under the sway of anger?
4.33.53
जानामि कोपं हरिवीरबन्धो-
र्जानामि कार्यस्य च कालसङ्गम्।
जानामि कार्यं त्वयि यत्कृतं न-
स्तच्चापि जानामि यदत्र कार्यम् ॥ ४.३३.५३ ॥
I know the anger of Sugrīva, kinsman of the monkey heroes, and I know the task and the right time for it. I know the duty we have performed for you, and I know what duty is to be done here.
4.33.54
तच्चापि जानामि तथाविषह्यं
बलं नरश्रेष्ठ शरीरजस्य।
जानामि यस्मिंश्च जनेऽवबद्धं
कामेन सुग्रीवमसक्तमद्य ॥ ४.३३.५४ ॥
O best of men, I know that unbearable strength of desire born of the body. I know who today is bound by desire, and who Sugrīva is, now unattached.
4.33.55
न कामतन्त्रे तव बुद्धिरस्ति
त्वं वै यथा मन्युवशं प्रपन्नः।
न देशकालौ हि यथार्थधर्मा-
ववेक्षते कामरतिर्मनुष्यः ॥ ४.३३.५५ ॥
Your intellect is not under the rule of desire; you have fallen under the power of anger. A man delighting in desire does not consider the right place and time for the true dharma.
4.33.56
तं कामवृत्तं मम संनिकृष्टं
कामाभियोगाच्च विमुक्तलज्जम्।
क्षमस्व तावत् परवीरहन्त-
स्त्वद्भ्रातरं वानरवंशनाथम् ॥ ४.३३.५६ ॥
O slayer of enemy heroes, forgive for now him who acts out of desire, who is close to me, and who, assailed by desire, has cast off shame—your brother Sugrīva, lord of the monkey clan.
4.33.57
महर्षयो धर्मतपोऽभिरामाः
कामानुकामाः प्रतिबद्धमोहाः।
अयं प्रकृत्या चपलः कपिस्तु
कथं न सज्जेत सुखेषु राजा ॥ ४.३३.५७ ॥
Great sages who delight in dharma and austerity are bound by delusion, following one desire after another. This monkey is fickle by nature; how could the king not cling to pleasures?
4.33.58
इत्येवमुक्त्वा वचनं महार्थं
सा वानरी लक्ष्मणमप्रमेयम्।
पुनः सखेदं मदविह्वलाक्षी
भर्तुर्हितं वाक्यमिदं बभाषे ॥ ४.३३.५८ ॥
Having spoken these words of great meaning, the monkey woman, with eyes dazed by intoxication, spoke again in sorrow to the immeasurable Lakṣmaṇa these words beneficial to her husband.
4.33.59
उद्योगस्तु चिराज्ञप्तः सुग्रीवेण नरोत्तम।
कामस्यापि विधेयेन तवार्थप्रतिसाधने ॥ ४.३३.५९ ॥
O best of men, the effort to accomplish your purpose was long ago ordered by Sugrīva, and it is carried out also by him who is obedient to desire.
4.33.60
आगता हि महावीर्या हरयः कामरूपिणः।
कोटीः शतसहस्राणि नानानगनिवासिनः ॥ ४.३३.६० ॥
Mighty in valor, able to take any form at will, dwelling on many mountains, the monkeys have indeed come, by the tens of millions and hundreds of thousands.
4.33.61
तदागच्छ महाबाहो चारित्रं रक्षितं त्वया।
अच्छलं मित्रभावेन सतां दारावलोकनम् ॥ ४.३३.६१ ॥
Therefore, O mighty-armed one, come. You have kept your conduct intact. With the feeling of friendship and without deceit, it is right for the good to look upon their wives.
4.33.62
तारया चाभ्यनुज्ञातस्त्वरया वापि चोदितः।
प्रविवेश महाबाहुरभ्यन्तरमरिंदमः ॥ ४.३३.६२ ॥
Permitted by Tārā, and urged on in haste, the mighty-armed subduer of foes entered the inner chamber.
4.33.63
ततः सुग्रीवमासीनं काञ्चने परमासने।
महार्हास्तरणोपेते ददर्शादित्यसंनिभम् ॥ ४.३३.६३ ॥
Then he saw Sugrīva seated on a golden supreme throne, furnished with a very precious covering, resembling the sun.
4.33.64
दिव्याभरणचित्राङ्गं दिव्यरूपं यशस्विनम्।
दिव्यमाल्याम्बरधरं महेन्द्रमिव दुर्जयम् ॥ ४.३३.६४ ॥
His body adorned with wondrous divine ornaments, of divine form and glorious, wearing divine garlands and garments, he was invincible like Mahendra.
4.33.65
दिव्याभरणमाल्याभिः प्रमदाभिः समावृतम्।
संरब्धतररक्ताक्षो बभूवान्तकसंनिभः ॥ ४.३३.६५ ॥
Surrounded by women adorned with divine ornaments and garlands, his eyes very red with anger, he became like Death.
4.33.66
रुमां तु वीरः परिरभ्य गाढं
वरासनस्थो वरहेमवर्णः।
ददर्श सौमित्रिमदीनसत्त्वं
विशालनेत्रः स विशालनेत्रम् ॥ ४.३३.६६ ॥
The hero embraced Rumā tightly, and seated on a noble throne, golden of noble hue, he saw Saumitri, of undaunted spirit and broad eyes.
