| Summary | "Le Râmâyana - tome second" by Valmiki is an epic poem written in the early centuries of Indian literature, consisting of ancient tales and poetic verse. This work is a continuation of the famous Indian epic that narrates the adventures of Rama, an incarnation of the god Vishnu, detailing his quest to rescue his wife, Sita, from the ten-headed demon king Ravana. The story revolves around central characters including Rama, his loyal brother Lakshmana, and the army of monkeys led by the monkey king Sugriva. At the start of this volume, tensions rise as Lakshmana enters the majestic cave of Kishkindha following Rama’s orders. He encounters Sugriva, who is surrounded by the pleasures of palace life, which starkly contrasts with Rama's suffering. Lakshmana's anger at Sugriva's apparent negligence towards their mission to find Sita leads to a heated confrontation where he emphasizes the importance of loyalty and the consequences of ingratitude. Sugriva, shaken by Lakshmana's wrath, ultimately reassures him of his loyalty to Rama, promising to aid in the search for Sita. This section sets the stage for their alliance, as Sugriva prepares to gather an enormous army of monkeys to aid in the impending battle against Ravana.
