After Vali's Death

After Vali's death, Sugriva was crowned king, and Angada was crowned prince. A lot of time passed. Sugriva focused on his state affairs and indulged in royal pleasures. Meanwhile, the rainy season began, but Rama's anguish over Sita's separation grew daily. 

"Sugriva has everything," said Rama to Lakshmana. "His enemy is dead. He has his kingdom, splendor, and women. But I am still agitated about being separated from Sita. It seems like Sugriva is no longer concerned about us."

Lakshmana tried to reassure Rama, saying, “Brother, we need to wait patiently for the end of the rainy season and the beginning of autumn. Monkey King Sugriva will certainly fulfill his promise. You must stay determined to destroy our enemies."

The wise Hanuman reminded Sugriva of the assurance he had given Rama. Sugriva instructed his commander-in-chief, Nala, to order all monkeys to return to the capital within fifteen days. After that, Sugriva once again indulged in royal luxuries.
