The brother who sealed the cave

गुफा बंद करने वाला भाई
Valmiki · Kishkindha Kanda
4.9.14–4.10.34 (CrEd 4.9.14–4.10.29)

सुग्रीव राम को बताते हैं कि बैर कैसे शुरू हुआ: वाली उन्हें गुफा के द्वार पर छोड़ गए; वे साल भर राह देखते रहे, फिर गुफा से रक्त बहता देखा और चीख़ें सुनीं, गुफा को शिला से बंद किया, और मंत्रियों ने उनका अभिषेक कर दिया। वाली लौटा, शिला तोड़कर निकला, प्रजा के सामने उन्हें राज्य के लिए भाई को बंद करने वाला निर्दयी कहा, और एक ही वस्त्र में निकालकर उनकी पत्नी छीन ली। अपने दुख से उनका दुख पहचानकर राम वचन देते हैं कि उनके अचूक बाण वाली पर गिरेंगे।

Sugriva tells Rama how the feud began: left by Vali at the mouth of the cave, he waited a year, saw blood flow out and heard cries, sealed the cave, and was anointed king by the ministers. Vali came back, broke out, denounced him before the people as a cruel brother who had shut him in for the kingdom, and drove him out with a single cloth, taking his wife. Rama, judging from his own grief, promises that his unfailing arrows will fall on Vali.
