सर्गः ३५
In which Lakṣmaṇa accepts Tārā plea, Sugrīva owns Rāma-restored fortune, vows to follow against Rāvaṇa, and is summoned with Lakṣmaṇa to Rāma.
Lakṣmaṇa gently accepts humble dharmic Tārā words — Sugrīva sheds great fear like wet cloth tearing neck garland and sobering — Sugrīva owns lost glory kingdom regained by Rāma grace none can requite — Sugrīva says Rāma regains Sītā kills Rāvaṇa alone piercing seven trees earth one arrow — Sugrīva says bowstring thunder shook earth needs no helpers and vows follow to kill Rāvaṇa — Sugrīva begs forgive trust-affection transgression none faultless — Lakṣmaṇa praises grateful righteous Sugrīva worthy kingdom foretelling foe slaying with Rāma — Lakṣmaṇa calls Sugrīva Rāma-equal god-given friend bids come console wife-loss friend forgiving harsh words
