Tara Pacifies Lakshmana
Thus hearing Lakshmana was oozing Fire and spelling out Rama’s message which were harsh, Tara who has the face of Moon wanted to subdue Lakshmana’s anger.
“ Lakshmana ! You should not say like this.This king of Vanaras is not worthy of hearing these harsh words. Further it doesn’t behove of your telling and he hearing it. You are thinking that he is ungrateful, one who does Keduthi (Calamity, Misery, Catastrophe, Harm) in secrecy, cruel., liar, deceitful is not correct. Rama did what others could not do. He killed Valli. He has not forgotten that Rama did a great favour to him. Sugreeva got Fame, Vanara Kingdom, Ruma and myself with Rama’s blessings. So far he had not seen good times of even having Good Food, Sleep and suffered, so when he got the Luxuries of the Kingdom, he forgot himself as he was not under his control he did realise the time span to achieve the task. Did not Great Sage Vishwamithra had spent 10 years with Menaka blissfully and considered it like a day? That great Sage himself forgot the tasks and time that were to be performed; do we need to say about others? He is tired; only he got bound by the needs of Body, Food, Sleep but he had not had any ugly design in his mind.nor did he get satiated by the Luxuries enjoyed. So it is justified to bear with his mistakes.
“ Without weighing the Dharma and knowing it , like an ordinary person is it worthy of you to give room to Anger? Persons like you who have Noble Virtuous Character , without verifying things will not give vent to anger. I am requesting you on behalf of Sugreeva , leave this extreme Anger. I know that if Rama orders Sugreeva is ready to forsake this Kingdom, Ruma, myself and all the wealth . Like Rohini joins Moon he will kill Ravana and join Rama and Sita. If you ask ‘Can he not kill now itself ? ‘ thee are limitless Rakshasaas in Lanka. They are extremely Valorous and are Lust filled , without killing them all Ravana cannot be killed. Without killing him we can not bring Sita. Without the help of others Sugreeva cannot win over that Wicked Ravana. When Sugreeva went to battle with Valli “ Emperor Dasarata’s children Rama and Lakshamana have come as a help to Sugreeva . By those Great warriors great Tragedy will befall you. Do not go” thus I stopped Valli. At that time Valli explained the strentgth and Prowess of Ravana, Sugreeva cannot win over Ravana. Rama will not desire for his help.” Said Valli to me. I have only heard of Ravana’s Prowess and have not seen it directly. Emissaries have been sent many days back to get the Vanaras(Ape men-Gorrilas- Godzillas- Orangutans-Chimpanzees- Apes- Monkey Lon gtailed, yellow eyed- red mouth- pink ,Grey,Black coloured- small – big sized –Learned- playfull all types of Monkey clan)all over the world.Since he is awaiting their arrival Sugreeva could not go out. He had given orders that within 15 days all should assemble in Kishkinda. That deadline is getting over today. Vanaras and Bears will come today.As long as you are here, seeing your face with Fiery red eyes they are scared whether Sugreeva also will meet the same fate as Valli’ said Tara. (Slokas 56)
