And then between those lions among men, fired with wrath, between that chief of the Kichaka clan, and that best of men, there ensued a hand-to-hand encounter, like that between two powerful elephants for a female elephant in the season of spring, or like that which happened in days of yore between those lions among monkeys, the brothers Vali and Sugriva.

Then a friendship was contracted between him and the high-souled Raghava. And the latter, having slain Vali installed Sugriva in the kingdom. And having obtained the kingdom, Sugriva sent forth monkeys by hundreds and by thousands in search of Sita.

And, O best of men, I too with innumerable monkeys set out towards the south in quest of Sita, O mighty-armed one.

"Who will avenge the deed on Höd and bring Baldr's slayer to the funeral pyre?" Sibyl. "Rind bears a son, Vali, in the halls of the west.
