As if wanting to embrace death, Vali ignored Tara's advise and went to fight Sugreev. Just a sight of his younger brother made him filled with excessive rage.

An intense duel again happened between the brothers. Vali again was getting the upper hand, Sugreev wasn't able to retaliate.

Shri Ram was spectating the duel from behind and seeing Sugreev falling weak, he raised his bow, mounting a firm arrow on it and took his aim at Vali and shot it. The momentum of the shot was such that it rattled everything around.

The unfailing arrow hit Vali, right in the chest with such a force that he instantly collapse on the ground with a loud thud. Blood gushed out from Vali's chest as he winced from immense pain.

Vali was angry, confused and upset, all at once. Even though his end was near, his magnificent aura and fighting spirit was still intact. It was unfair and underhand to hit some engaged in a combat with another opponent. Vali wanted to know who did this treachery.

And then came out Shri Ram, Lakshman, Hanuman along with other ministers of Sugreev. They stood around Vali respectfully who was waiting for answers. Seeing the princes of Ayodhya, Vali understood they were his perpetrators.

"Tum mahaan Ayodhya-naresh Dashrath ke putra ho na ? Mai toh apne shatru se yudh raha tha, tumse nahi. Kintu tumhare karan aaj meri mrityu hogi. Kya praapt kiya mujhe maar ke ? Tara ne mujhe chaitaya tha kintu mujhe laga tum dono Suryavanshi Rajsi sanskaar waale ho toh aisa neech karya nahi karoge. Kintu maine tumhe parakhne mei bhul kardi. Dharm ki odhni odhe tum dono adharmi ho." Vali said.

Shri Ram and Lakshman raised their brows, he was talking about Dharma and ethics as if he followed them ardently.

"Ram-Lakshman, maine na kabhi tumhe pareshan kiya aur na kabhi tumhara apmaan kiya. Ayodhya aur Kiskindha mei bhi koi shatruta nahi. Mai toh ek sadharan falhaari vanachari hu, toh tum jaise varisht kul ke varisht rajya ke utkrisht Rajkumaro ko mujhe chhal poorvak maarke kya mila !? Bhoomi, swarn athwa chaandi shatruta ka karan bante hai, kintu hum Vanaro ki sampatti toh yeh van hai, toh kis laalsa ke karan tumhe mujhe mara ? Raja ko dand aur upkaar karne ka adhikaar hai. Kintu dand dete samaye Raja ko savdhani barakhni chahiye. Tumne apne drishta ka pradarshan kiya hai mujh par baan chala ke kyuki tumhare prati mai nirdosh tha." Vali asked.

Even in his final moments, he wasn't stopping and was ready to argue. Vali continued his tirade.

"Van mei mulyavan vastu ya maans praapt karne hetu Rajao ko akhet ka adhikaar hai, kintu hum Vanaro ka maans na khaane yogya hai aur chamdi na pehenne yogya. Toh mere akhet se tumhe kuch nahi mil sakta. Ya aisa toh nahi tumne Mera vadh Sugreev ki sahayata hetu kiya ? Tumhe Sita chahiye thi na ? Ravan har le gaya tha na use ? Murkhta ki Sugreev se maitri karke. Yadi mere paas aate toh uss dusht Ravan ko rassi se baandh le ata jaise koi vyakti pashu ko baandhta hai aur tumhare charno mei rakh deta. Yudh ki awashyakta nahi padti." He said.

Vali further added, "Mujhe iss baat ka dukh nahi ki meri mrityu nikat hai, sabki mrityu ek din aani hi hai. Na hi mujhe iss baat ka shokh hai ki Sugreev ab Kiskindha par Raaj karega. Mai iss baat se kupit hu ki mujhe chhal poorvak kyu mara !?" He asked.

Vali deserved an answer and Shri Ram was obliged to give him one.

"Ek duraachaari se maitri karu ? Ram ke itne bure din bhi nahi aaye. Vali tum toh aise baat kar rahe ho ki tumhe dharm ka gyaan hai, jo asatya hai. Tumhe pata hona chahiye ki sampoorn Prithvi, Kosal desh ke samprabhutva ke andar aati hai. Aur Kosal ka pratinidhi hone ke naate Mera kartavya hai ki jaha anyaye dekhu uska annt karu. Jaha dharm ki haani hoti hai, waha hum Raghuvanshi dharm ki raksha hetu aur adharmiyo ko dand dene hetu pahuch jaate hai. Indriyo ke jaal mei fas ke tum Raj-dharm ko bhul gaye the. Kiskindha ke buddhimaan log sadev tumhari ninda karte hai." Shri Ram said.

He added, "Bada bhai Guru aur Pita samaan hota hai, aur chhota bhai shishya aur putra samaan. Bade bhai ki padvi hone ka arth hai ki tumhe Dharm ki sukshmata, satya-asatya, uchit-anuchit ka gyaan ho. Tumne toh apne chhote bhai ki patni, jo tumhare putra-vadhu samaan hai, usse bal-poorvak apne vaasna ki purti ki. Yeh apraadh nahi paap-karm hai, jiske liye tumhe dand milna awashyak tha. Jo bhi vyakti samaaj mei vikriti ka udaharan stith karta hai, usko dandit karna anivarya hota hai." Shri Ram said.

He continued, "Ek sabhya samaaj mei, jo purush apni behen, beti, putra-vadhu aur anuj-vadhu par vaasna bhari ku-drishti daale, uske liye keval mrityu dand hai. Aur Sugreev toh mere liye Lakshman jaisa hai. Ek chhota bhai mere paas, apni patni ko punah praapt karne hetu sahayata maange aya, toh uski sahayata mujhe karni hi thi. Sugreev ko nyaye dene ka vachan tha mera." Shri Ram said.

He told further, "Yadi tum mere sthaan par hote toh Raja hone ke karan tum bhi wahi karte jo maine kiya hai. Suno, dand ke baare mei shaashtra kya kehte hai, shaashtra kehte hai ki Raja dwara dandit kiya apraadhi yadi dand swikaarle toh woh paap-karm se mukt ho jata hai, isse uske karm nasht nahi hote. Kintu yadi Raja apraadhi ko dand na de, toh woh paap Raja ko lagta hai." Shri Ram said.

And to finally he countered the point made by Vali about hunting.

"Aur Vali yadi tumhe lagta hai ki maine akhet hetu tumhara vadh kiya toh tumhe kupit hone ki koi aavashyakta nahi hai. Kyuki Rajao ko akhet ka adhikar hai aur yeh kahi nahi likha ki shikaari kiska aakhet kar sakta hai, kiska nahi, aur naahi aisa likha hai ki aage se kar sakta hai ya piche se." Shri Ram said.

Badi badi baate kare
Ram se bhi nahi dare
Kamukh madang tera dussahas bhari hai
Behen ho, beti ho, putravadhu, ki anuj vadhu
Inn pe kudrishti daale woh toh paap-chari hai
Naato ki jo mariyada jaane bina bhog kare
Unke sanghaar ki toh niti humari hai
Praan chhodte huye bhi chhode na tu tark
Arrey abhimaani pashu teri mati gayi maari hai.

So Shri Ram punished Vali, and punishment can be given any how. Aage se de ya piche se, fark nahi padta.

And once I was listening to Ramayan by Ravindra Jain (the above lyrics are from that)... And I couldn't help but put the dialogue 'Ek durachari se maitri karu ? Ram ke itne bhi bure din nahi aaye' inspired by one of its line.

Cause if you see the 'din' of Shri Ram ji..... Rajya se nishkaasit huye hai, van van bhatak rahe hai varsho se, patni ka haran ho chuka hai, maansik santulan kho ke ped-paudho, pashu-pakshiyo se puch rahe hai ki meri Sita kaha hai..... Fir bhi he says ki itne bure din nahi aaye ki durachari se maitri karu......

So the point I'm trying to make is....

Angraj what's your excuse ? 🤣🤣🤣
