9 - In Kishkindha (1)
Ram Meets Sugreev

Sugreev a monkey's chief was sitting on top corner of Rishyamook hill,
He saw from much far two beautiful men; "are they coming to kill?"
He called his mentor Hanuman and said, "Who are they two strangers?
Looks valiant, beautiful and with weapons, are they some aggressors?"
"Please go to them in disguise and find out about them in much detail,
If they are ally of Bali, please indicate me, I will hide in caves, no tail" 
"Sugreev! I see them sad, shinning as gold, dressed in an ascetic robe,
I will find out soon, they do not seem to be with Bali; still I will probe".
Hanuman was much intelligent, well versed in vedas he became a man,
Came to Ram, Laxman, said  "are you two divines or some perfect men".
"What is your mission, you shine as gold, and do you miss some one?
You look sad, trust me, may I help you in some way; oh you like sun!". 
"We are Ram and Laxman, sons of late king Dashratha from far North,
We came here by father's order, Raven kidnapped Sita closing hearth".
"O Ram! It is much sad; I will take you to my leader Sugreev on rock,
Sugreev also needs his wife Ruma, after listening you I am in shock".
"My name is Hanuman, Ram I am your devotee, how could miss me,
Please you both come on my shoulders, things will work out as I see".
"You and Sugreev can be friends and help each other to kill enemies,
You establish a kingdom with righteousness; we will have ceremonies".
Sugreev came to receive Ram, Laxman, Hanuman brought details in,
"The time has come Sugreev! Unjust Bali will pay dearly for his sin".
"Let you and Ram be eternal friends by taking oath in presence of fire,
Ram will help you to kill Bali and you find dear Sita fulfilling desire".
Sugreev praised Ram, established friendship with an oath ceremony,
"I am fortunate to have you friend, you have become savior of many".
"One day I was sitting with my friends, saw a huge rakshas in the sky,
He was carrying a beautiful woman, I looked up to hear the lady's cry"
"She dropped a bundle of jewelry rapped in cloth, I saved it in a cave,
I am sure she was dear Sita, heard your name, Ram and I did her wave".
"Dear Sugreev! Please show me the bundle, let me have a good look",
Sugreev brought it to Ram, it was Sita's jewelry, and Ram was shook.
Ram became sad; Sugreev did console Ram with positive worldview,
Ram regained his composure; friends were determined to deal anew. 
Ram asked, "Sugreev! Why are you scared of your brother Bali much?
What went wrong between you two; it is not possible any way such?"
"Ram! We two had enough love, Bali was king and I was assisting him,
One night a rakshas Mayavi came in town and challenged to fight him".
"Bali and myself came out to fight with Mayavi in that moon lit night,
Mayavi ran away after seeing us, Bali is invincible with super might".
Mayavi entered in a cave, Bali followed him and asked me to wait out,
I waited for a year, Bali did not come back; I saw blood coming out", 
"I thought that Bali had died and Mayavi will come after me in the city,
I closed the cave opening by rocks; came home, this all got publicity".
"In due course of time the executive committee confirmed me the king,
One day Bali came back, did not listen me, beat me up, it was a thing".  
"He took my wife Ruma, possessions, kingdom and asked me to leave,
I live on this hill, Bali can not come here due to a curse, you believe".
Sugreev was in tears as he missed his wife, friends, family, possessions,
Ram decided to kill Bali, since he took Sugreev's wife; no suggestions.
Sugreev relieved as Ram promised to kill Bali and have him kingdom,
"Ram! How can I be convinced of your prowess to have this freedom?".
"I show you seven huge trees which were pierced by Bali's arrows,
And the skeleton of Dundhabi who was killed by Bali in some throws".
Ram kicked the skeleton of Dundhabi by his paw and pierced the trees,
Only one arrow did this all, Ram earned confidence, support Sugreev's. 
Sugreev wanted Bali to be killed, Ram said, "please challenge Bali",   
Sugreev, Hanuman, Ram, Laxman went to Kishkindha it was no dally.
Bali came out to fight as was challenged; it was much furious fighting,
Sugreev turned weak; he could not take more; to lose was not exciting.
