all homes, then the world would be like heaven. Sugriv, an ordinary person would be
prone to forgetting us having gained such high status. But he needs to remember that the
Raam‘s arrow which resulted in the death of Vaaali, that same Raam‘s arrow can
also…..‖
The great serpent incarnation Laxmanji immediately realised Raam‘s words were
demonstrating his anger towards Sugriv. The detachment of Sitaaji, it was expected,
would result in his such anger towards Sugriv. So he interrupted: ―Brother, why do you
take such pain. By the arrow of this younger brother, Sugriv will turn to ashes.
Pampaapur will vanquish to the nether worlds and…. ―
Bhagwaan saw that his words had clealy had profound effect on Laxman‘s heart. But the
words of Raam had been uttered naturally due to separation. Holding Laxmanji‘s hand,
Bhagwaan said: ―Brother! Laxman ! Do not be so angry. Where humans, persons of
power and the deities after obtaining greatness become like animals, then what of poor
forest king Sugriv? The ego of kingdom and wealth is like that. We have made friendship
with Sugriv by the witness of Agni and the protectors of the directions (dik-paal). Maybe
by sheer nature he may have forgotten, so must be able to forgive.‖
―You go to Pampaapur tomorrow in the morning. But do not be angry at all. Remind
Sugrive of his pledge. Even so if he does not come to me, then get him here even by
force.‖
Laxmanji became silent.The night passed. The next morning, Laxmanji departed towards
Pampaapur.
Mahaavir Hanumaanji had stayed by the command of Sri Raamchandraji with Sugriv for
the four months. Nevertheless he was always reminiscing on the command of Sri
Raamchandraji. But engrossed in the duties of the kingdom, Sugriv had certainly
forgotten. One day taking him to a side, Mahaavir reminded Sugriv: ―Great Lord, the
rainy season has passed. Autumn hs set in. You hjave pledged to find Sitaaji. So I am
reminding you of your duty to fulfil that pledge.‖
By the words of Mahaavir Maaruti, Sugriv suddenly became conscious and said: ―Oh! I
have erred badly! I was blinded by the attachment of kingdom and wealth. I forgot the
Bhagwaan who bestowed on me such grace. How callous I am. Engrossed in the tasks of
the kingsom, I even forgot my great Lord!‖
―Lord of Pampaa!‖ said Hanumaanji : ―the man lost from the morning who returns by the
evening is not considered lost. Start right now the process of searching for the daughter of
Janak. Through all the monkeys, find the whereabouts of Sitaaji.‖
For all a while Sugriv became pensive, and the he immediately commanded Hanumaanji:
―Great warrior! To cover the whole globe will require monkeys in great numbers. You
announce my command to all the leaders of the monkeys in the world that they send their
troups to Pampaapuri. And then prepare as you see fit to send the monkeys out in search
of Sitaaji, because time is scarce and the task is huge, so you will have to persevere to do
so.‖
When commanded by his Lord thus, then what is left to do? Hanumaanji by his
tremendous velocity, delivered Sigriv‘s message from Kanyaakumari to Kaashmir. And
why send Sugriv‘s message through third party? Message delivered by the speed of wind,
troupes of monkeys began to arrive from lands afar.
