Kishkindha Kaanda - Sarga 25
In this Sarga, Rāma and Lakshmaṇa console Sugreeva, Tārā and Aṅgada. Rāma reflects on the fate that is in no one's control and exhorts everyone to do what should be done. Lakshmaṇa gives specific directions to Sugreeva as to what should be done. Tāra, minister of Sugreeva gets a palanquin, which was splendid like a chariot. Sugreeva and Aṅgada place the body of Vāli on the palanquin.
Everyone, including the Vānara women, go in a procession wailing. The funeral pyre is prepared on a sand-flat surrounded by the water of a stream. Tārā takes the head of her dead husband onto her lap and cries bitterly saying that Yama has come in the form of Rāma and has taken him away making her and all other wives of Vāli, widows.
Aṅgada lights the funeral pyre. Everyone cries. All of them go to the water and give water libations to Vāli. After the funeral rites are done Sugreeva reaches out to Rāma and Lakshmaṇa.

Kakutstha, along with Lakshmaṇa,
consoled Sugreeva, Tārā and Aṅgada,
while grieving as much as they did:

Wailing and anguishing would

It is the cosmic order
that makes everything happen in this world.
It is ordained by the cosmic order
that things are accomplished.
It is the cosmic order that
prompts all creatures to do its bidding. It may be surprising to see Rāma holding the cosmic order, nature of things and time, but not himself responsible for killing Vāli.
This is because Rāma truly holds the view that everyone is ultimately driven by destiny. He says the same even in the case of Kaikēyee; while everyone blames her for the disaster, Rāma holds that it is Providence that is responsible for her to behave the way she behaved (Ṡlōka 2.22.16).

Tāra took that palanquin and returned quickly,
with it being carried by mighty strong Vānaras
who were skilled at carrying a palanquin.

It was splendid like a chariot
with a comfortable seat,
amazing carvings in the likeness of birds and
resplendent woodwork of figurines of weight bearers.
It was like an air car that carries Siddhas
well constructed by master craftsmen
with vent-holes and casements and
awnings plastered with red sandal paste.
It had beautiful carvings of trees and mountains.
It was winsome with exquisite ornaments,
chains and wonderful garlands.
It was dazzling like the morning sun,
covered in bunches of flowers and garlands of lotuses.
