सर्गः १६
In which Vālin dismisses weeping Tārā, trades fist and sāla blows with Sugrīva, and collapses as Rāma drives a deadly shaft into his chest.
Vālin rebukes Tārā and scorns enduring insult — Vālin trusts righteous Rāma can do no wrong — Vālin orders women back and vows victorious return — Tārā circumambulates weeping and seeks blessings indoors — Vālin exits hissing and confronts blazing Sugrīva — Brothers trade deadly fist threats and blows — Sugrīva slams sāla on Vālin like thunderbolt — Vālin overpowers flagging Sugrīva who shows agility — Rāma buries venomous shaft in Vālin chest — Vālin collapses senseless like felled Indra banner
