Trying to put an end to their grief Rama told Tara, Sugriva and Angada that their grieving would in no way benefit them or the hero who lay dead! "The god who dispenses justice is not fettered by friendship or enmity. It is Karma that dictates the fate of every man. The wise aware of this accept what ever befalls them with grace for destiny is inexorable and inevitable. Slain by me and having realized and repented his follies, Vali has reached the land of the gods, that such souls merit. Since he has reached the highest state it is needless to mourn him". Vali was cremated and the wailing of his many wives echoed through the mountains as Angada lit the funeral pyre and all those assembled paid their tribute to the noble king of Kishkinda.
