SUGREEVA'S DOUBTS CLEARED

SUGREEVA was keen on regaining his kingdom and family, but he could not see how this was to be. Vaali's strength stood as an impossible barrier between him and the fulfilment of his desire.

Hanumaan, his minister, tried to convince him that is would succeed with Raama's help, but Sugreeva's doubts persisted. Could Raama's strength overcome Vaali's? It all looked hopelessly impossible. Vaali's body was like steel. How was Raama going to kill him?

Sugreeva had these doubts about Raama. But he had none else to help him. And he was not prepared to give up his desire. He decided to test Raama's strength.

But how is one to subject a friend to a test without discourteously betraying one's suspicion? Raama had promised to get the thing done. How was an occasion to be created to measure his ability? Sugreeva thought long and formed a plan.
