reassured Sugreeva, saying: "This is not Vaali, nor are they friends of Vaali, it

Sugreeva was pleased and said: "Do it,
but be careful. Go, find out the truth and come back. Use all your skill. I am full of
suspicion. They behave as if they are searching for some one. Could it not be that it is
me they seek?"
