while going to Kishkindha alongside Sugriva and others with intent to make short work of Vali, Sri Rama sees a delightful grove and inquires of Sugriva as to whose hermitage it was. Sugriva tells him in reply that the hermitage belonged to a group of sages known by the name of Saptajanas, who had bodily ascended to heaven.

Amazed to behold Sri Rama's arrow re-enter his quiver after piercing all the seven sal tress and penetrating the bowels of the earth, and applauding Sri Rama, Sugriva implores him to make short work of Vali. Sending Sugriva to challenge Vali to a combat, Sri Rama sits in hiding behind a tree. When a passage at arms commenced with Vali who would not brook a challenge, Sri Rama did not hit Vali with an arrow because the two brothers so closely resembled each other that it was difficult for him to distinguish one from the other. The result was that Sugriva lost heart and ultimately taking to his heels, returned to Rshyamuka. Explaining to Sugriva the reason of his failure to hit Vali, Sri Rama reassures Sugriva and encourages him to seek an encounter with Vali again. Urged by Sri Rama, Lakshmana uproots a blossomed Gajapushpi creeper and ties it about the neck of Sugriva for identification.

With a view to ascertaining Sri Rama's actual strength, Sugriva expatiates on the prowess of Vali and tells him how Mayavi's brother, the demon Dundubhi too challenged him to a duel and how, having made short work of him, Vali listlessly hurled his dead body crossing over to the precincts of the hermitage of Sage Matanga, and how the site of the hermitage having been desecrated with blood, spattered here and there from its mouth, Sage Matanga pronounced a curse forbidding the individual who had perpetrated the sacrilege to enter the hermitage on the pain of death, thus enabling Sugriva to live unmolested in that retreat. In order to convince Sugriva of his superior might, Sri Rama kicks the skeleton of Dundubhi away with his toe. Belittling this feat on the ground of the skeleton having shrunk as a result of exposure, Sugriva further asks Sri Rama to pierce with his arrow one of the seven sal tress standing there and thus demonstrate his strength.

Sugriva tells Sri Rama how challenged to a duel at dead of night by a demon, Mayavi by name, who owed him a grudge on the score of a woman, Bali sallied forth with Sugriva and following at the heels of the demon, who ran away on seeing him, and reaching the mouth of a cave, asked Sugriva on oath to stay out, himself entering the cave. Since Vali did not come out for a whole year and as from a confused din coming out of the cave as well as from a stream of blood issuing from it, it was concluded that Vali had met his death at the hands of the demon, Sugriva closed the mouth of the cave with a rock and, offering water to the spirit of his deceased elder brother, returned to Kishkindha, where the ministers of Vali installed him on the latter's throne in his absence. In the meantime, Vali returned from the cave and reprimanded Sugriva for having usurped Vali's throne.

Telling Sri Rama that he had come to know from Hanuman all about his misfortune (in the shape of the abduction of his wife) and assuring him that he will have her traced out wherever she may be and restore her to him, Sugriva fetches from inside his cave an ornament tied in a corner of a silk wrapper and dropped by her from the air while being carried away by Ravana, and shows it to Sri Rama. Recognising it as belonging to Sita alone, Sri Rama is plunged once more in grief born of separation from his beloved spouse and, violently hissing like a serpent, impatiently enquires who that Ravana was and where from he hailed.

Having presented himself before Sugriva on the Malaya mountain and apprised him of his having brought the two scions of Raghu to Rsyamuka, Hanuman narrates to him the story of the two princes.

Hanuman inquires of Sri Rama the purpose of his visit to Pampa. Having narrated to Hanuman his life story, as urged by Sri Rama, Lakshmana tells him that cultivation of friendship with Sugriva, in pursuance of the advice of Kabandha, was the purpose of their visit to the Pampa.
