| Summary | "Morte de Yaginadatta" by Valmiki and Cândido de Figueiredo is an adaptation of an episode from the epic poem the "Ramayana," translated into Portuguese during the late 19th century. This work serves as a poetic rendition that captures a poignant moment from Indian literary tradition, likely revolving around themes of fate, remorse, and the profound emotional weight of loss. The story centers around the tragic event in which a king, Daçaratha, accidentally kills the son of a hermit, Yaginadatta, while hunting. Overcome with guilt and grief, Daçaratha seeks to find and comfort the parents of the young victim, who were reliant on their son for support. The narrative unfolds with the deep sorrow of the grieving parents, particularly as the father learns of his son's death and laments not just the loss of Yaginadatta but also the desolation that will ensue for both him and his blind wife. Ultimately, the episode presents a grave exploration of unintended consequences, the duties of a ruler, and the weight of sorrow in human experiences, culminating in the hermit's blessing and a heavy moral reflection on fate and responsibility.
