I got the service to describe Sugriva am very much thank
full to HG Mohana Rupa Prabhu HG Antaranga Mataji Seeks blessing from all the assembled Vaishnavas and Vaishnavies. In the Vedic Indian Historical account of Ramayana, Sugriva was younger brother of Bali, whom he succeeded as ruler of the vanara kingdom of Kishkindha. Rumā was his wife. He was son of Surya. As the king of vanara, Sugriva aided Rama in his quest to liberate Sita Matha from captivity at the hands of the Rakshasa king Ravana. This aid is referred to as Sugrivajne.
The History of Sugriva: -
In the exile, Bali ruled the kingdom of Kishkindha; his subjects were the vanaras. Tara was his wife. One day, a raging demon by the name of Maayaavi came to the gates of the capital and challenged Bali to a fight. Bali accepted the challenge, but when he sallied forth, the demon fled in terror into a deep cave. Bali entered the cave in pursuit of the demon, telling Sugriva to wait outside. When Bali did not return and upon hearing demonic shouts in the cave and seeing blood oozing from its mouth, Sugriva concluded that his brother had been killed. With a heavy heart, Sugriva rolled a boulder to seal the cave's opening, returned to Kishkindha and assumed kingship over the vanaras. Bali, however, ultimately prevailed in his combat with the demon and returned home. Seeing Sugriva acting as king, he concluded that his brother had betrayed him. Though Sugriva humbly attempted to explain himself, Bali would not listen. As a result, Sugriva was ostracized from the kingdom, Bali forcibly took Sugriva's wife Rumā and the brothers became bitter enemies. Sugriva then goes on to live on Rishyamukh as it is the only place on earth that Bali cannot tread on. Bali was previously cursed by Sage Matang and hence cannot lay a foot on this piece of land. Doing so would cause his death. Sugriva made the acquaintance of Rama, the Avatar of Vishnu, who was on a quest to rescue his wife Sita from the demon Ravana, king of the Rakshasas. Rama promised Sugriva that he would kill Bali and would reinstate Sugriva as the king of the vanaras. Sugriva, in turn, promised to help Rama with his quest. The Killing of Bali:-
Together, Sugriva and Rama went to seek out Bali. While
Rama stood back, Sugriva shouted a challenge and dared him to battle. The brothers rushed at each other, fighting with trees and stones, with fists, nails and teeth. They were evenly matched and indistinguishable to the observer, until Sugriva's counsellor Hanuman stepped forward and placed a garland of flowers around Sugriva's neck. It was then that Rama emerged with his bow and drove an arrow through Bali's heart.[citation needed] After Bali’s death, Sugriva reclaimed the vanara kingdom, took back his wife, Rumā and took over Bali's main wife, Tara, who became empress and her son by Bali, Angada, who became crown Prince.
