Vālin begs Sugrīva not to blame him citing fate-delusion — Vālin grants kingdom and accepts Yama journey — Vālin entrusts dearer-than-life Aṅgada to Sugrīva — Vālin praises wise Tārā demanding obedience — Vālin urges serving Rāma and surrenders golden garland — Sugrīva grief-stricken accepts garland — Vālin counsels Aṅgada obeying Sugrīva avoiding extremes — Vālin dies baring teeth — Monkeys despair as Tārā clasps Vālin like creeper
