Rama in the Wilderness in his Cave. Source
Public Domain Ramayana, link to the reading online.
- Sugriva is a monkey-king that is in exile
- Hanuman is the monkey god
- Hanuman will be Rama's most devoted follower
- Sugriva asks Rama to confrom Vali in battle after Vali fights an enemy (demon)
- Rama ambushed Vali
- This ambush is dishonorable and something that many people question because it seems kind of a coward way to approach it, Rama's Confession
- Sugriva becomes the king
- Sugriva will help Rama find Sita
- Since Rama is exiled, he cannot enter the city, therefore he has to wait in the outskirts in the wilderness
- Sugriva was not doing anything about finding Sita so Rama sends Lakshmana to remind him
- Sugriva then sends 4 armies of monkeys to find Sita (not sure why he originally postponed searching for her)
- Jatayu,the bird, has a brother named Sampati
- Sampati's wings are burned so he cannot fly, flew too close to the sun
- Sita was not with Ravana
- Hanuman finds Sita in a grove of ashoka trees where rakshasis are guarding her
- Ravana tries to get Sita to marry him
- Ravana's son, Indrajit, captures Hanuman
- Ravana sets Hanuman's tail on fire, which was a bad decision
- Ravana's advisors want to go to war with Rama
- Vibhishana, Ravana's younger brother, opposes the war and suggests to return Sita to Rama
- Vibhishana leaves to join Rama
