Tara's eulogy for Vali — spoken by his wife over his fallen body after Rama kills him. The Kishkindha Kanda's most complex moment: Vali had genuine virtues (not lustful, not angry, not envious, not arrogant, not false). And yet he was wrong — he took his brother's wife and kingdom. Tara's lament forces the Ramayana to acknowledge complexity: that people of genuine virtue can commit serious wrongs; that a person's best qualities do not excuse their worst actions; that grief for a flawed person can be completely real. The Ramayana does not resolve this tension; it holds it.
वह कामी नहीं था, न क्रोधी, न मत्सरी, न अहंकारी, न मिथ्यावादी — वह वानरश्रेष्ठ वाली।
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
He was not driven by lust, nor anger, nor envy, nor arrogance, nor falsehood — that Vali, bull among vanaras.

वह कामी नहीं था, न क्रोधी, न मत्सरी, न अहंकारी, न मिथ्यावादी — वह वानरश्रेष्ठ वाली। अनुभव तब स्पष्ट होता है जब उसे किसी एक घटना का आकस्मिक संयोग न मानकर एक नियम की तरह देखा जाए। यह पंक्ति उसी नियम को इस प्रसंग में रखती है।
