Sri Rama justifies his action by saying that the punishment meted out to Vali in the form of taking his life was meet, having regard to the sin of depriving his own younger brother of his wedded wife, of which Vali was guilty. Repenting for his having reproached Sri Rama, Vali now seeks the latter&#39;s forgiveness and requests him to take care of his son, Angada. Sri Rama comforts Vali.recitation: 00: 00 - 11:23Translation: 11:27 - 28:34
