When Lakshmana strode into the palace, Sugriva leapt from his throne and stood with folded hands. As they confronted each other the prince shook with rage while the monkey king shook with fear.Looking at Sugriva who was still bleary eyed and still in a stupor, Lakshmana lashed out. "A king who is born noble, who has conquered his senses, who is truthful and compassionate earns great renown. There is nothing more wretched for a king than forgetting help rendered. Brahma himself has declared, that every sin has atonement, except the sin of ingratitude! You abandoned Rama the moment he got you back your kingdom! If you still remember Rama's kindness and if you are still grateful, start the search for Sita! You are like a treacherous snake that croaks to attract its prey, the frog! If ever Rama's grace deserts you, you will go the way Vali has gone! If only you were aware of the power of Rama's deadly arrows that fly off his bow, you would not be dallying so fearlessly. Oblivious of your commitment, you dishonor the sacred oath of friendship".
