It was said that no one could defeat Vali in head-on battle. Already Vali was extremely powerful with his power almost equal to that of 7500000 elephants. Vali asked Brahma for a boon such that in any duel, Vali's opponent would lose half his strength to Vali. Vali was granted a boon by Brahma after sitting in penance. Sugriva ran off to Rishyamuka mountain, the only place Vali would be unable to enter because of the curse of the sage Matanga. Sugriva tried to explain his actions, but Vali didn't listen. Upon seeing Sugriva act as a king, Vali thought his brother had betrayed him. However, inside the cave, Vali killed the demon and returned home. He closed the cave with a large boulder and presumed kingship over Kishkindha. When Vali did not return and he heard demonic voices from inside the cave and blood oozing from inside the cave, Sugriva mistakenly concluded that Vali was dead. Vali entered the cave and told Sugriva to wait outside. When he came forth, the demon got terrified and ran into a cave. The Quarrel Īccording to the Ramayana, a raging demon known as Mayavi came to the doors of Kishkindha and challenged Vali to a fight. He adds that even if the caller for the fight had been his own son, Angada, he would still go to the fight. This can be understood from the fact that, when Tara tried to stop him and begged him not to go to fight Sugriva, by saying that it is Rama who is helping Sugriva and has come to Sugriva's rescue, Vali replied to Tara that even if he is fighting against God, he cannot ignore a challenge for a fight and remain quiet. Vali, who was with his father Indra, helping him in the churning of the ocean, took Tara and married her. One gem is that various apsaras (divine nymphs) were produced, and Tara was an apsara produced from the churning of the ocean. As history goes, fourteen types of gems or treasures were produced from the churning of the ocean during the time of the Kurma avatar. In a duel between the brothers, Rama shot Vali in the chest with an arrow. Sugriva sought the assistance of Rama, an avatar of Vishnu, to intervene in their conflict. He banished his brother, Sugriva, who had assumed his throne, believing him to be dead. Having obtained a boon that allowed him to receive half the strength of his opponents, Vali was a formidable fighter. He was the husband of Tara, the son of Indra, the elder brother of Sugriva, and the father of Angada. Vali ( Sanskrit: वाली, nominative singular of the stem वालिन् ( Valin)), also known as Bali, was a vanara king of Kishkindha in the Hindu epic Ramayana.
