Rama consoles Thaara on Valis death

Rama felt sorry for Thaara ,who was weeping for her husband. He tried to console her.Thaara!you are a wife of a warrior.You should not be like this.As per Brahmas direction only,every thing moves and happens in this world.Accordingly,happiness and sorrow come to us.No one can escape fate.You will be happy in short time.Your son is going to be a prince shortly.Rama was as unhappy as Thaara and Angada were.At the same time,he was consoling all of them.How ever we might weep,nothing good is going to happen to Vali.So,it is better if we start attending to his last rites.Time is very powerful. No one can dodge it.Time has no relations.It has neither reason nor rhyme.We should think philosophically .We are bound by the rules and regulations of time. Because Vali was a great man,he went to heaven.One need not feel sorry for Vali. It would be better if we start his last rites. Lakshmana took the initiative and started giving orders to Sugreeva. Sugreeva!start and do not delay. Now,this city is in your hands.Give them the appropriate directions. Do not be desolate and depressed.Let Angada regain courage and confidence. Arrange garlands,cloth,timber,Ghee,oil,spices and condimentsand other items needed for Valis last rites. He directed Thaarudu to go and bring carriage to carry Valis corpse.When he brought it,Lakshmana instructed Sugreeva to keep the body in the carriage and decorate it aptly. Sugreeva gave directions to his ministers to arrange things in such a fashion that is appropriate for a great man and King of Kishkindha.All the last rites were accomplished correctly and with fervor.Sugreeva and his aides came and saluted Rama after every thing was over.
