Disturbed by the alarming news, Sugriva was puzzled at Lakshmana's anger. He asked his ministers why they were not aware of the reason for Lakshmana's anger. " Could my enemies have caused it perhaps"? He wondered aloud, "to find a friend is easy but to keep up friendship is not easy! The mind is so fickle that even trivial things can ruin it. My only fear is that I may not be able to repay all that Rama has done for me". Trying to clear Sugriva's confusion Hanuman said, " It is not surprising that you who never forget a favor are unhappy about this. The pain of separation from Sita must have prompted Rama to send Lakshmana. Unmindful of your promise, you let the time that you had set for Sita search, pass. Seasons change. Autumn is here, the skies are clear and rivers flow gently. Yet you seem unaware of it all, and that is the reason why Lakshmana is here! Appease the prince, Sugriva, I see no other way out for you. Rama can vanquish the entire world consisting of the Devatas, Asuras and the Gandharvas. It does not therefore, augur well to vex him. Go now! Assure Lakshmana that you will honor your commitment".
