Sugreeva went around Earth
After they left Rama asked Sugreeva “ How do you know the details of this Earth?”. Sugreeva replied “ Lord ! earlier when Dhundhubi Asura(Demon) in the guise of Buffalo was won over by Valli and was being chased towards Malaya mountain , he entered that Cave of the Moutain. Immediately Valli also entered the cave to kill him. Valli gave me orders to stand infront of the entrance of the Cave.Even after 1 year Valli did not come out; further Blood flowed from the cave. So I thought my elder brother Valli died and was in deep anguish.I did not want the Asura to come out so I placed a huge boulder in the entrance of the cave. Then I returned to Kishkinda and became King and enjoyed life with Tara & Ruma. When this happened, Valli killed that Asura and came to Kishkinda. Afraid of him I surrendered the Kingdom back to Valli.But he wanted to kill me and my Minsiters and chased us.
“ While running like that I crossed many a Rivers, Forests, Cities. Then the Earth looked like photos seen in a glass and also like an inferno which was like a centrifuge, it appeared like that to me. In east many a Trees, Lakes, Rivers,Minerals filled Udhaya giri Mountain(Jharkhand-Bihar), The ocean of Milk which Apsaras(Angels) like I saw them while running. Then I retruned south and saw Vindhya Mountains, Sandalwood and other rare Trees and reached till the Souther Tip. There also I was chased by Valli and ran in westerly direction there I saw many a nations and saw Astahgiri where Sun sets.From there I ran North wards . There I saw Himalayas, Meru,and other Mountains and saw the Sea in North(Artic Ocean?).Having run in all directions and being chased by Valli I was stunned, then the great Intelligent Hanuman “ Lord ! Mathanga Sage had cursed ‘if Valli steps inside his Ashram, then his head will explode into pieces.Hence he will not dare to come there.’ We can live there wihout any fear” advised Hanuman. Thus we stayed in Rishya Mukha Mountain till you arrived.Afraid of the curse of the Sage, Valli did not come there. Thus I had seen the entire Earth completely and then came and tarted Living in this Cave” said Sugreeva. (Slokas 24)
