Fearing his brother Vali, Sugriva was living on Mount Rishyamukh with Hanuman. Wandering in search of Sita, Shri Rama and Lakshmana arrived there. Sugriva suspected that Vali might have sent them.

To learn the truth, Hanuman went to them disguised as a Brahmin. Shri Rama was impressed by his sweet, pure and thoughtful words. When Hanuman recognised his Lord, he fell at his feet, and from that moment his life was devoted to serving Rama.

Hanuman carried both brothers on his shoulders to Sugriva and, with fire as witness, sealed the friendship between Shri Rama and Sugriva. Shri Rama ended Vali's life and won the kingdom of Kishkindha for Sugriva, and the monkey army set out in all four directions to search for Sita.
