Despite this, killing Vali would not be impossible for Rama as Sugriva and Vali were identical twins. Moreover, Rama does not want any unnecessary bloodbath of Vali's army with whom he wants to maintain friendly relations. As Rama explains later, for 14 years he cannot enter a city. Rama asks Sugriva to challenge Vali and bring him outside Kishkindha.
Sugriva is happy and says, "O Rama, you are great." After going through the trees, the arrow even makes a strike on a huge rock and splits it into pieces. When it is Rama's turn, he penetrates seven saal trees in a row with one arrow. As proof, he shows Rama a hole in a saal tree which Vali had made in one shot. He tells him many remarkable stories of Vali's power.

Sugriva is very scared of Vali and he is full of doubts that Rama could kill him. In Sugriva's version, he is entirely innocent and Rama believes him. Sugriva tells him the story of how Vali became his enemy. This also boosts Rama's confidence in Sugriva. Ĭontinuing on his journey, Rama meets Hanuman and is impressed by his intelligence and skills as an orator. The freed Kabandha advises Rama to seek the help of Sugriva to find Sita. Wandering in the forest with his brother in search of his wife Sita – kidnapped by the rakshasa king Ravana, Rama meets rakshasa Kabandha and kills him, freeing him from a curse. Immediately Vali released Ravana, thus demonstrating that Vali was the greatest and most powerful being on the Earth. Ravana could not bear the insult and asked Vali for friendship. Vali started carrying Ravana under his armpit for years. Vali defeated Ravana and tied him with his tail (carried him on his shoulders in some other versions). Vali and Ravana then fought a fierce battle. Ravana then reached Vali and challenged him.
First Sugriva fought with Ravana and was defeated. Ravana challenged Vali to come and fight. Hearing Narada praising Vali, Ravana became extremely arrogant and went to Kishkinda. Ravana learns about Vali and his strengths through Narada. It was said that no one could defeat Vali in head-on battle. Already Vali was extremely powerful with his power almost equal to 70,000 elephants. Vali asked Brahma for a boon such that in any duel, Vali's opponent would lose half his strength to Vali.
Vali was granted a boon by Lord Brahma after sitting in penance. Sugrieva ran off to Rishyamook Parvat as it is the only place where Vali couldn't come because of the curse of Rishi Matang according to which if Vali set his foot on Rishyamook Hills, he would die. Sugrieva tried to explain but Vali didn't listen. Upon seeing Sugrieva act as a king, Vali thought his brother had betrayed him. However, inside the cave, Vali killed the demon and returned home.
He closed the cave with a large boulder and presumed kingship over Kishkindha. When Vali did not return and he heard demonic voices from inside the cave and blood oozing from inside the cave, he, mistakenly, concluded that Vali was dead. Vali entered the cave and told Sugrieva to wait outside. And when he came forth, the demon got terrified and ran into a cave. The DisagreementĪccording to Ramayana, a raging demon came to the doors of Kishkindha and challenged Vali to a fight. He adds that even if the caller for the fight had been his own son Angada, he would still go to fight. This can be understood from the fact that, when Tara tried to stop him and begged him not to go to fight Sugriva, by saying that it is Lord Rama who is helping Sugriva and has come to Sugriva's rescue Vali replied to Tara that even if he is fighting against God he cannot ignore a challenge for a fight and remain quiet. Vali who was with his father Indra, helping them in the churning of ocean, took Tara and married her. One gem is that various Apsaras (divine nymphs) were produced and Tara was an Apsara produced from the churning of the ocean. As one myth goes, fourteen types of gem or treasure were produced from the churning of the ocean during the time of Kurma Avatara.
