Rama gives Shelter to Sugreeva
Then to the extent possible I tried to assuage him. “ Anna(Elder Brother)! It is my good fortune you killed the enemy and returned.For Orphan like me you are the Lord. Please give me permission to facilitate you with White Umbrella, Hand Fans made of Peacock quills a Royal Insignia . For 1 Year I stood infront of that Cave’s entrance. Then seeing the Flood of Blood coming from there, got scared I got greatly anguished some thing had happened to you I closed the entrance with the peak of a Hill and returned to Kishkinda. When I was in agony on the trouble caused unto your good sleves, Ministers and the Citzenry together forced me and appointed me as King. Please do Pardon me for this act .You are only worthy of being a King. I will like earlier time be a Young Prince only. As you were not there I was only executing your authority. The Kingdom which was entrusted to me is now being returned without any danger to it I am entrusting it back to you.The Great Valorous person you are, should not get angry with me. Please have mercy on me. With folded hands I do prostrate before you. Ministers and Citizens said the Kingdom without a King will decimate and thus coerced me and made me sit on the Throne. “ thus I had humbly conveyed to him.
He scorned me with anger ‘ Chee Chee’ and abused me with unparliamentary unspeakable words. Then Valli called the Minsiters and Subjects and in their presence addressed me “ You all are aware that an asura Mayavi called me one night for a fight. Hearing that I started from here to fight with him. This Traitor at that time came with me.Mayavi seeing us got scared and ran. We(Valli & Sugreeva) also chased him. Suddely seeing him vanish into a cave I said “ if I return to Kishkinda my fame will get a dip, so I will go into this Cave and will kill him soon an dreturn. Till then you be here”.Thus I commanded Sugreeva. Believing he will be there only, I entered the gory Cave I searched for him for one year Finally I found him and killed him along with his relations. Whe he was dieing a horrible death roaring howl with the blood filled the cave , Thus killing the son of Dhunhdbi and coming out the entrance to the cave was blocked and I did not know the path to exit. Despite calling ‘Sugreeva’ many times there was no reply. I got unhappy and many times kicked that stone . In that path came to the city. This croocked fellow having an eye on kingdom forgetting the respect he should have towards his brother, he usurped my Throne.” Thus Valli narrated, without any mercy with just one piece of cloth drove me away from there. Being afraid of him I left my Wife and the Kingdom and went roaming around the earth running. In this Rishya Mukha Mountain knowing Valli will not come, I hid myself here.I had not committed any wrongdoing thus the enmity between me and my brother Valli started and it’s cause and also the troubles that occurred to me I have narrated to you. All the Living beings are scared of your PARAKRAM (Achievement,Might , Puissance,Exploits,Valor ,Heroism,Gallantry,Prowess,Ability ,Valour).Iam frieghtend with no major fault on my side I am seeking your mercy to kill him.
Hearing this Dharamathma Rama smiling said “ Sugreeva! These Bhanas (Arrows with Feathers) are dazzling like Sun. These Arrows who speed at a fast pace will pierce Valli’s heart. Let the man who stole your wife live, till he is sighted by me.I am also suffering like you; so I can understand the agony fully. I will lift you ashore from the sea of sorrow and will complete your desire” thsu he spoke the words whichwere in consonance with Dharma.Hearing these Sugreeva was ecstatic & thought his desire has already been concluded.
