50 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे किष्किन्धाकाण्डे अष्टादशः सर्गः ॥४-१८॥ इत्युक्तः प्रश्रितं वाक्यं धर्मार्थसहितं हितम्। परुषं वालिना रामो निहतेन विचेतसा॥ १॥
Thus addressed, Rama [heard or regarded] the respectful, beneficial words of Vali, words associated with dharma and artha, spoken harshly by Vali with a stricken or bewildered mind. The transmitted text leaves the verb governing this sentence implicit.
तं निष्प्रभमिवादित्यं मुक्ततोयमिवाम्बुदम्। उक्तवाक्यं हरिश्रेष्ठमुपशान्तमिवानलम्॥ २॥
Him—the best of monkeys who had spoken these words—[Rama saw as] resembling the sun without radiance, a cloud that had released its water, and a fire that had become quiet. The verb is implicit in the transmitted verse.
धर्मार्थगुणसम्पन्नं हरीश्वरमनुत्तमम्। अधिक्षिप्तस्तदा रामः पश्चाद् वालिनमब्रवीत्॥ ३॥
Then Rama, who had been reproached, spoke afterward to Vali, the unsurpassed lord of the monkeys, endowed with the qualities of dharma and artha.
धर्ममर्थं च कामं च समयं चापि लौकिकम्। अविज्ञाय कथं बाल्यान्मामिहाद्य विगर्हसे॥ ४॥
Without understanding dharma, artha, desire, and also worldly convention, how, out of childishness, do you reproach me here today?
अपृष्ट्वा बुद्धिसम्पन्नान् वृद्धानाचार्यसम्मतान्। सौम्य वानरचापल्यात् त्वं मां वक्तुमिहेच्छसि॥ ५॥
Without asking the elders who are endowed with understanding and approved by teachers, O gentle one, do you wish to speak to me here because of a monkey’s fickleness?
