Tara Stops Valli
Sugreeva’s Roar which made all Creatues tremble fell on ears of Valli who was with his entourages of Ladies. Immediately he came out of the drunken state and his swelling Pride enraged him and was like the Sun at Dusk with his complexion becoming red, like the Rahu which engulfed the Sun during Solar eclipse lost his composure & radiance. With fierce some Teeth was furious like an inferno , was akin to the mound in a pond surrounded by Red Lotus. Then unable to bear the Roar of Sugreeva’s Roar came out very fast. When he walked in rage the earth underneath cracked; Tara seeing that, was scared and stunned, due to her love for him hugged him and started telling him Hitham ( Palatable,Soothing counsel - in the interest/Good of his- well meant) “ Your rage is swelling like the Flood waters of the River, please cast aside same like the person who throws away the garlands on getting up after sleep. Since it is nearing Night it is difficult to assess the Phalaphalam(weighting consqeuences and Benefits ) of enemy , you can fight with Sugreeva tomorrow morning. I would not like you to going like this immediately. Please listen to the reason for my stopping you. **( Tara was obtained when the Ocean was Churned by both Asuras & Devas(Celestials)by Valli seeing his Valour they allowed him to take her. Tara was known for her intelligence and wisdom with Sagacity)
This Sugreeva even earlier had invited you for a Fight. Then with rage you went and bashed him and drove him away. Because he is inviting you so soon for another fight , this is what is causing me doubt and concern. From the tone and tenor of his Roar which is full of Arrogant Pride, Courage and Motivation if you think deeply there must be some deeper sinister reason. I think without support of others he will not dare to come here. He is inviting you for a battle like this based on some Warrior’s support. By Nature Sugreeva is an expert, Intelligent, without testing and assessing the man’s Valour , he would not have brought him.
“ Our Child Angadha while roaming in the Forest came to know of this from the Spies. Ayodhya King’s Sons Rama Lakshmana have joined Sugreeva for help. They are Valorous.They have never been defeated in Wars; they are from ikshwaku dynasty; they have earned Fame. Rama is an exponent in Battle; he burns his enemies like the Kaalagni(Fire during Deluge) with his effulgence and Radiance. “if you ask as he is helping Sugreeva, why can’t he help me?” it is like the Tree will shower it’s shadow on a person who has come under it, and then with it’s Frutis and Flowers satisfy his Body (Physical requirements of thirst, energy, hunger). Similarly Rama takes care of the wants of those who seek his shelter and showers Grace and all the auspicious well being.Since we have done injustice Rama will not accept us as Pious; nor will he protect us. He takes responsibility for those who have sought his help apart from telling the way, he undertakes the actions required till the end implements them himself so that the goal is achieved. Those who are in agony, there is none other than him for protection. If you ask will I not get such a person? There is no such equivalent person in this universe. His fame is umatched in redeeming the requirements of those who have sought his shelter.those who do Charanagathi ( Last resort is to fall at God's Feet shedding one's Ego, Anger, Attachment ,Desire, intelligence and seek his guidance, for he knows what is in store for us) to Rama he has the requisite Spiritual (Doctrines of Vedas) and Societal worldy Knowledge to shower all the blessings in ensuring their well being. He observes all the Dharmas (Righteous conduct,Just, Duty, Pious, humble, Charitable, respectful, humble ,Ethical,being Noble, all this done beyond expectation and without anticipation) this is seen from his adhearnce of PithruVaakhya paripalanam (Implementing and Fulfilling Father’s words). He is simple to devotees.A huge Moutain is filled with all Minerals like wise he is epitome all Virtues. Adorned by these qualities this Great Human’s fame is still greater than that. From his Form and behavior his greatness gets enhanced further. He has Manam{ Chitha (Memory)+ Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego} does not get perturbed or stirred under any circumstances. It is not apt for you to earn enmity of that great Soul. He has immeasurable PARAKRAM (Achievement,Might , Puissance,Exploits,Valor,Heroism, Gallantry ,Prowess ,Ability ,Valour). He cannot be beaten in Battle; but do not think “ one who cannot take care of himself, how can he protect some one else? A person who was driven from the Kingdom he was to get , how can he earn the kingdom for Sugreeva? Futher instead of making friendship with me as I am a Strong man , will he make friendship with a weaker Sugreeva? ” and brush him aside. I know you are a Great Valorous person. Do not think I am finding faults/fallacies / short coming in you. I have spoken what is in your interst and well being. Please listen to the suggestion and do accordingly. Call Sugreeva and Cornonate him and crown him as Yuva Raja (Crown Prince as next in command).Do not earn enmity with your strongman Brother. I feel making friendship with Rama is good for you. Please have Love for Sugreeva. Please shirk your malice towards Sugreeva. Shouldn’t you protect and nurture you own brother? Whether he is in City or Forest isn’t he still your blood relation ? You have not considered that you won’t get a relation like him. Please honour Sugreeva, please give him the Gifts he needs, support him, always keep him beside you. He will forget everything and will migle with you and Live with you. Immaterial how you are, Pople will say he is your Relation.There is no other go than making friendship with Sugreeva. If you feel that I am always for your well being , if you have the desire to carry out my suggestion which is dear to me, please accept my prayers and do it accordingly. Please have mercy on me and consider my words and respect them. You should not get angry with me. I do not like your enmity with Rama who is equal to Mahendra’s prowess. “ This counsel of Tara caused hatred to Valli. Person who is bound by Kala Pasham (Laso ie Rope of death which ties it's Noose around Living beings at the time of their Death, when their Life span is over) when his Death is nearing is it a surprise that wrong intellectual thought befriends him?.
