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.Recitation: Translation:
