4.22.26

tatas tu tārā vyasanārṇava plutā mṛtasyā bhartur vadanaṃ samīkṣya sā
jagāma bhūmiṃ parirabhya vālinaṃ mahādrumaṃ chinnam ivāśritā latā

Then when they saw their leader slain
Great anguish seized the Vánar train,
Weeping their mighty chief, as when
In pastures near a lion's den
The cows by sudden fear are stirred,
Slain the bold bull who led the herd.
And hapless Tárá sank below
The whelming waters of her woe,
Looked upon Báli's face and fell
Beside him whom she loved go well,
Like a young creeper clinging round
A tall tree prostrate on the ground.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1870, The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse
