LEFT EYELIDS THROB

"Raama is a prince full of wisdom and virtue. He is the eldest son of the famous Emperor Dasaratha. To fulfil his father's promise, he left Ayodhya with his brother and wife and came to the forest. King Dasaratha was compelled by his younger wife, in fulfilment of 'an undefined promise given long ago, to banish Raama. In the forest, taking advantage of the princes' absence, Raavana carried away the wife of Raama. Raama has come here, seeking your help in finding her. The princes are worthy of your friendship. You too will gain greatly from friend ship with such heroes."

Sugreeva assumed the form of a handsome man and had a long and heart-to-heart talk with the princes. Stretching forth his hand to Raama, he said:

"Princes, if you care for the friendship of a Vaanara, here is my hand, accept it. Hanumaan has told me all about your virtue and greatness."
