TAARA'S GRIEF

Sugreeva lamented: "Though my sin was great, he would not kill me. He drove me out and allowed me to escape with life. That was all. But I conspired to slay him and succeeded. There is no sinner like me in the world and yet with his last breath he gave me the kingdom to rule and gave, too, the gift of Indra, the necklace of power. Indeed he was noble. Why should I still cling to this base life, 1, who brought about the death of my heroic brother?"

At least once a year, men that follow ancient custom utter the prayer Kaamokaarsheet manyurakaarsheet. That is, "Desire lured me into sin, anger lured me into sin.' So saying many times with humble penitence, they seek to cleanse their hearts. This is a practice that all should follow, to repent and purify the heart and surrender it to the Lord, Kaamokaarsheet manyurakaarsheet, Naaraayanaaya namah.
