THE RAMAYANA
But I shall tell it to you in plain words.
Therefore it does not behove you" to
censure me merely because of your anger.
तदेतत् कारणं पश्य यदर्थं त्वं मया हतः ।
भ्रातुर्वर्तसि भार्यायां त्यक्त्वा धर्म सनातनम् ॥
Know this to be the reason why you
have been killed by me. Violating the
traditional code of conduct,
you have
seduced your brother's wife.
अस्य त्वं धरमाणस्य सुग्रीवस्य महात्मनः ।
रुमायां वर्तसे कामात् स्नुषायां पापकर्मकृत् ॥
While the high-minded Sugriva is still
alive, sinful as you are, you keep Ruma
who is your daughter-in-law, on account
of passion.
तद्वथतीतस्य ते धर्मात् कामवृत्तस्य वानर ।
भ्रातृभार्याविमर्शेऽस्मिन् दण्डोऽयं प्रतिपादितः ॥
Hence, O monkey, to you who have
transgressed dharma and who are addicted
to passion, punishment is accorded for
carnal knowledge of your brother's wife.
