Sugriva and Vali were brothers and their fight is an important turning point in history. It is because they became enemies that Vanaras were able to help Sri Ram in Ramayana. Vali ruled Kishkinda, the
Vanar kingdom (monkey kingdom). The brothers loved each other but destiny made
them enemies. Legend has it that once a demon named Mayavi came to Kishkinda
and started killing monkeys and destroying fruit bearing trees.
Vali asked Sugriva to wait outside the cave. Several days
passed and Sugriva heard roars from inside and breaking of rocks. Then one day
there was silence inside the cave.
Vali challenged Mayavai. The demon was no match to Vali in
strength and he escaped and hid in a cave. Vali and Sugriva pursued the demon
and challenged him in the cave.
Sugriva did not hear the customary yelling of Vali after
defeating his enemy. Suddenly Sugriva noticed blood coming out of the cave.
Sugriva thought that Mayavi had killed Vali. To stop the Mayavi from escaping
from the cave, Sugriva closed the mouth of the mountain with a huge rock.
Sugriva then reached Kishkinda and narrated what had
happened. He then declared himself as the next king.
Vali was not dead. After killing the demon, he had become
tired and was resting. When he recovered, he came out of the cave and was
furious to find that Sugriva had declared himself as the king.
In anger, Vali chased Sugriva out of Kishkinda. Thus the two
brothers became enemies.
