Vali and Sugreeva

                                     Vali and Sugreeva

In Ramayan , we come across a story about Vali and Sugreeva. Both were brothers , being Vali the eldest. Vali is the son of Indra. Sugreeva is the son of Sun god.
Their mother is Aruni. She was a monkey. Vali became the king . Vali had the boon that in a battle , Vali would absorb the strength of his opponent he is facing.
This boon had made him invincible. Once there was a demon by the name Dundhubhi who was giving trouble . So , both brothers decided to confront the demon.
Dundhubhi was staying in a cave. Brothers traced the cave and decided to move in. Vali told his brother Sugreeva that he will go inside the cave and he will close the entrance with a large stone. If blood comes out of the door of cave , then Sugreeva must assume that Vali is dead . Then Sugreeva must crown himself as king. This was the agreement.
Likewise , Vali entered the cave , closing the door of cave. But demon Dundhubhi was clever enough too. After the fight started between the two, Dundhubhi made blood to come out of the entrance by his magical powers.
Sugreeva saw the blood and assumed that his brother Vali is dead and returned to kingdom to crown himself as king. Finally the battle was over and Vali had killed the demon . Victorious , he returned to kingdom only to see his brother as king in his absence.
Sugreeva tried to explain the things . But Vali was not ready to listen. Hence Sugreeva fled the scene with his supporters as Sugreeva was not having much power to fight with his mighty brother , Vali.
