Agonized with grief to hear about the death of her husband, Tārā, wife of Vālī, sallied forth from Kiskindhā to arrive in the presence of Vālī. Fleeing helter-skelter through fear of Śrī Rāma and meeting Tārå on the way, the monkeys try to send her back inspiring fear in her and advise her to make arrangements for the defence of the city and install Angada on the throne. Rushing to the scene of contest after dismissing them, Tārā catches sight of Vālī lying on the ground, as well as of Śrī Rāma and others.
