Sugriva went on to say "When Vali stormed into Kishkinda a passion lit his eyes, his haughty tread shook the earth and his savage fury permitted no tolerance! He watched with disbelieving indifference as I pleaded my innocence and begged him to accept me and be my protector. Even my offer to serve him and bear his royal canopy was met with disdain! He refused to believe that I had stood guard a whole year until the dreadful cries of pain had emanated from the cave, when I left sorrowfully deeming him dead!" "I even offered to give back the realm that I was holding in trust, protecting it against wars and enemies. I neither coveted the throne nor consented to the crowning. It was all thrust on me by the Vanaras of Kishkinda and the ministers, who did not want the kingdom to be without a king. But since you are here you alone who are worthy of worship should be the ruler." Vindictive and hostile Vali had called for his subjects and his ministers to denounce Sugriva. Piling undeserving blame upon him, Vali refused to believe that he was never betrayed. He told his audience that it had taken him a year to track down Mayavi and kill him in the labyrinthine mazes below the earth! And that when he had tried to get out, the way was blocked."I called out for Sugriva, but I was only calling for a brother who was no longer there! Deserting his post to usurp the throne, Sugriva had mercilessly sealed the cave! Because his greed for the kingdom was greater than his love for me". Vali had then thrown Sugriva out of the country. When Sugriva had finished narrating his woes Rama voiced his support saying " these deadly arrows of mine which travel with the speed of wind will unerringly find their target. Vali will live only so long as I do not see him and your sorrows will soon end". Sugriva gratefully worshipped Rama as feelings of joy and hope, so long alien to him, surfaced once again.
