Hearing this story, Rama says he will help Sugreev to re-attain the brother hood with Vaali. But Sugreev says he is passed the bounds of forgiveness now. Asking why, Rama gets the answer: “After becoming king, Vaali forcefully married Sugreev’s wife (Ruma).” This enraged Rama. No man should ever do this. Bro’s wife is like a sister and if such is the case, Vaali has no right to live. Rama says he will kill Vaali.
Sugreev says it is impossible because half of Rama’s strength will go to Vaali before the fight because of Vaali’s vow. Rama says he will secretly kill Vaali by shooting from behind. Sugreev: “But Rama, that is unfair, unlike you. You are ‘maryaada purush’ (respectable man). How can you do such an unworthy heinous unrespectable act?”
Rama replies: “Intention of any maryada purush is the destruction of papa (evil) in whatever manner possible. Compared to the papa of Vaali, the maryada of Rama is less. So Vaali has to be killed secretly.”
Sugreev goes to Vaali and intimidates him. Vaali comes to Sugreev with fervour to kill. They both start fighting. Rama tries to shoot Vaali but Vaali and sugreev are similar in looks. So he is unable to identify whom to kill. So Rama goes back to the mountain. Sugreev is unanimously defeated by Vaali. But Vaali does not kill him and lets him go and tell his now new friend how powerful Vaali is and how weak Sugreev is. Sugreev runs away, glad to be alive.
Sugreev comes and scolds Rama as to why Rama didn’t help. Rama tells he couldn’t identify. H garlands S and says now its easy to identify. Rama thanks H for his geniusness. Fight again. Easy for Rama. He kills Vaali. Vaali shouts ‘Unfair. Cheat.’ But Rama says he is a cheat for all his crimes. Finally Vaali dies.
Meanwhile, parvathi say to Shiva that ‘Still Rama shouldn’t have done it. Even if he had come in front of Vaali, as Vishnu, he could have easily killed Vaali.’ Shiva, then says, if that happened, there would have been no meaning of ‘wish’, people would stop believing in tapas or vow. Because the main reason Vaali got his vardhaan was such that as more and more people came to kill him, he would be more powerful than the enemy and he wouldn’t die. Also, since Rama had come to Earth in manav awatar he could not possibly technically convert to Vishnu. Parvathi is convinced.
