Craving the forgiveness of Sugrīva, though he was younger than he, and applauding the resolve of Tārā (to follow her husband), nay, urging Sugrīva to follow the advice of Tārā, look after Angada affectionately and accomplish the purpose of Śrī Rāma, Vālī asks Sugrīva to take off the gold chain from the formerís neck, and gives up the ghost while tendering wholesome advice to Angada. Extolling the wonderful exploits of Vālī, hordes of monkeys lament in many ways. Stricken with agony caused by separation from Vālī, Tārā falls to the ground, embracing Vālī.
