1939. Her mother says,
“You, colored like the dark ocean,
have not thought of the pride of my daughter
whose eyes are beautiful
and whose garlanded hair swarms with bees.
Why did you do this?
It is because you are proud that you split open
the chest of Hiranyan, your enemy,
and because you became angry at Vāli and killed him
when you felt compassion for Sugreeva?
Do you think my daughter is only like the moisture
that comes inside your mouth in your cheek?”
