Valli accuses Rama
Valli who was an exponent in War fare, was injured by Rama Bhana , with all his Limbs duly adorned touching the ground , like felled Tree, like the Flag mast of Indra whose rope had been cut, and had fallen on the ground. Like the sky without the Moon, Earth has lost it’s sheen without Valli.Even though he was injured and had fallen the great Warrior’s Aura or Strength or Prowess or Fame had not dimmed; nor his Life go away;. Then Indra’s Golden Garland with Gems embedded was gaurding his Aura or Strength or Prowess or Fame. Like in the Dusk the peripheral clouds gets illuminated the Golden Garland was illuminating his body contour. His effulgence,evening dusk illuminence, and the Arrow which was taking away his Life all dazzled differently themselves in 3 ways. The Bhana which emanated from Rama conferred on him Warrior’s Heaven and and finally attaining Noblest of World as salavation and Valli appreciated “ the person who shot this Arrow is the real Great warrior” and was looking around slowly searching for him as to where he is?
Like the Fire whose Flame has been quenched,due to reduction of punyam Emperor Yayathi fell down like a star from the heaven, Like the Sun which is pushed on to earth during Deluge, also like the Indra who cannot be opposed by anyone , Indra’s son Valli adorned by Golden Garland, with broad chest like Lion, With long rotund Arms , with Golden hues Body with his Face exhuding Aura and fallen on the ground Rama Lakshamana saw him and came near, with pleasantness and but hasrhwords in consonance with Dharma Valli started speaking.
“ You are Emperor Dasaratha’s son; Great Famed one; Love in following Dharma; born in Noble Clan; You have the main priority of Pious Character; You exhude radiance and effulgence; you have been observing Fasts. I was doing battle with some one else; I di’dn't know your presence; what fame have you attained by killing me? You have hit me in my chest with your Bhana when I was fighting with Sugreeva. Rama is fully aware of the mercy and is an epitome of same, and is a person who does only good things for the well being of all Living beings. You are known as a personification of Dhaya(Kindness & Compassion), a person who has won over the enthusiasm which overtakes one. One who knows the culture of the elders, one who does not falter on his promise. All the Creatures praise Your fame. Controlling of Indriya senses, also
you Face peace, patience, Intellect of Dharma, Dextirity or Grit, Sathyam(Truth), PARAKRAM (Achievement,Might , Puissanc ,Exploits, Valor, Heroism, Gallantry,Prowess ,Ability ,Valour)punishing those who do Aparadh (Unpardonable acts such as sin, misdemanour,delinquency,infraction, violation, crime, offence, guilt, lawbreaker, crime, outlaw, felony ) it is said these Noble Virtues are Kings’ traits. Since you are a king it is well known to you. Since you are born in the Ikshwaku Dynasty I believed you do have these qualities. Despite Tara stopping me many times I did not bother and came to fight Sugreeva. When I came I did not find you. When I was fighting with some one else and enjoying it I was certain you will not battle with me. But I did know that you are such a person with wrong intellect and you act in the garb of a Dharmathma ,and has a culture of a sinner, and a sinner one who wears the garb of a Pious . You are like a Flower with water containing Fire I did not know that you make a living in the name of Dharma.
“ What sin have I committed in your country or city ? which way have I insulted you? When I am faultless, why have you killed me? After all I am a monkey who eats Vegetables, Frutis, Roots and inhabit the Forest; did I come to battle with you? When I was fighting with some one else you have hit me. Indications of Adharma is seen in your actions and are exhibitted clearly. A person who had learnt everything and has the life of Dharma adhearance personality will he carry out such cruel thing? Who is the person who kept you the name Rama which gives bliss to all the Living Beings on uttering that name? You are born in the Lineage of persons following Justice and having attained the fame of Dharma adhearing person, with such wicked nature why are you walking in this world in the form of Handsome man? Pacifying others with sweet words , and giving others without denying them, forgiving the heinous acts of others and being patient, protecting those who seek shelter, what ever be the situation do not forsake Sathyam(Truth), One whose Manam{ Chitha(Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego} does not get perturbed by any sort of Kasht (Agony,purgatory,discomfort, trouble, hardhip, suffering, harassment, annoyance, travail) and one who has the Valour / Prowess to decimate those who oppose him, punishing those who go against Dharma, are these not the tnatural traits of King? What great Aparadh (Unpardonable acts such as sin, misdemanour,delinquency, infraction, violation, crime, offence, guilt, lawbreaker, crime, outlaw, felony )have I done? I live in Forest.; you live in city. Iam a Monkey and you are a Human. I eat Vegetables, Roots and Frutis; whereas you eat food suitable for the Kings. You are an Emperoro’s son; by birth I am not equal to you. What is the reason for enmity between you and me?
“ They say Earth, Gold, Silver and other wealth are the main reason for enmity . Have you desired for this Forest, Vegntabes, Roots, Frutis and because of that did you do like this? Justice and Blessings are the traits of noble Kings. Injustice and Torturing is the Dharma of Insignificant Kings. There is no connection to these two as well. Kings should not follow these Dharma as per their Manam{ Chitha(Memory)+Inner Conscience Mind +Intellect(Bhuddhi) +Ego}goes. You have the Kama(Lust) as the main priority; Get Angry quickly; one who does not have control over himself; you mix the two contrary 2 Dharmas. If you feel like killing some one without thinking you immediately kill him. You do not have patience or interest in Dharma. You have desire in usurping other man’s property. Instead of controlling your senses you go in the
way they go. By killing me who has not done any harm , you have earned the wrath of the people of the world, what will you do amidst Pious? Person who kills King, person who kills Brahmins, Person who kills Cows, Thief,Person having desire in killing animals without reason,an Aethist who thinks there is no God ,when his elder brother has not married he one who marries, one who carries tales,Miserly despite having money, one who is treacherous to Friends, one who spoils Teacher’s wife, they will go to Hell where extreme Sinners go; there is no doubt on this.
Are you saying ‘ it is customary for Kshatriyas(warriors) to hunt, what is wrong in killing you as you are one of the Forest Animals? Unlike the skins of Deer, Tiger my skin is not useful for using as seat. My hair is not useful like the Silk worms. Unlike the Elephants Ivory tusks and Bones my Bones are of no use for anything.Those like you who observe the Thapasvi (Saintly Mendicant) , will not ouch my Meat. Why did you kill me? The Animals having 5 Nails like Hedge hog knowns as Salyam, The Pig which kills Dog, Rabbit and Tortoise , Udumbu(Steel Grip), should worshipped by Brahmins, Kshatriya and Vaishyas. Those who know of Dhram will not touch my Skin or Bones They will not eat my meat. I one who has 5 Nails who is of no use why did you kill me?
“ Tara who knew everything told me the truth and in my Hitham ( Palatable,Soothing counsel - in the interest/Good of me- well meant). I did not use my intellect and ignoring her I came to the Batlle.i have now lost my Life. Like the Greatest Pathivratha( pure pristine and Noblest, Chaste, Loving, Humble dotting Wife not falling prey to Fame, Money or Power) of good Conduct begets a vacillating Husband ; likewise for this Earth you are not the worthy Lord.Insecrecy one who does eveil for others and one who Lives by doing wrongs to others only , one who does Henieous tasks,sinner like you who portrays the garb of Patient person, how were you born as a son to the Great Soul Dasaratha? Roughish Rama has cut of the binding rope of Good Conduct , crossed the boundary of Dharma of the Pious, crossed the axe of Dharma and came and killed me Did you not realize that this act of yours which will not give Kshema (well being ,Prosperity,innate happiness reflected in their Living), and is to be scorned, and which is abhorred by Pious, will be spoken ill of by the Pious? The Prowess which you showed to me by killing me a person who has neither done any help nor any disservice why did you not show this Prowess to Ravana who carried away your Wife? If you have stood in front of me and fought me that very moment I would have killed you and sent you to Yama(God of Death). If one was asleep after drinking and is bitten by the Serpent; like wise one who cannot oppose me why did you kill me by hiding?
If you had told me before hand that I should come and bring Sita, would I have not brought her in one day ? To kill Ravaana you have made friendship with Sugreeva and haven’t you killed me as per his desire? Same Ravana I would have killed in battle and , would have tied a rope to his neck and dragged him upto you. . Even if he had kept Sita under the sea or in Pathal(underneath the earth) if you had told me one word; like in earlier times when Madhu Kaitapa had kept the Sruthi Swaythashwathari, Haya greeva killed them and brought to the Earth, like wise would have I not brought to you?
Sugreeva should get the Kingdom after my death is Justified. But your killing me against Dharma is unjustified. A man born has to one day die is habitual. If you are killing me in hiding is it justified please think and reply me an appropriate answer” thus spoke the Great Stongman Valli . Due to the agony of the Bhana(Arrow with feather) and became tired for speaking long, his mouth dried , was looking silently at Rama who was shining like the Sun. (Slokas 54)
