Wearing a very worried face, Sugreeva was watching the two brothers. He noticed that those two were wielding top-class weapons and their bearing was quite audacious. And those two seemed to be coming towards the Mt. Rishyamuka. These observations made Sugreeva ambiguous and apprehensive. He was very much frightened, too and he felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He noticed that the other vanaras were frightened, too. He told his ministers "Here they come wearing jute cloths and move about in this forest deceitfully. I wonder whether they have been sent by Vali to eliminate me."
Then he beckoned all his ministers and other vanaras and they gathered around him. Then Hanuman, one of Sugreeva's very able ministers, said "Sir, I feel that we need not worry about those two divine like humans. I am sure that Vali would not have sent them here, as he knows very well that no one can harm us in this mountain."
Sugreeva was inclined to agree with Hanuman and said "Their arms are long, their eyes are broad and they are well armed with bows, arrows and swords. These two are like the sons of some divinity. Nevertheless, it is possible that they are sent by Vali. You know that Vali do have very many friends and these two may be his friends. I am afraid that trusting them absolutely without proper verification is an unpardonable mistake.
"You know very well that enemies move in disguise and will trounce the complacently self-assured ones who relax caution due their own self-confidence, on the first opportune occasion. In such exploits Vali is an ingenious one. And all kings will be observing many aspects of their enemies to eliminate them.
"My dear Hanuman, go to them in some appropriate disguise, for your own guise would be distinguishable by Vali's agents. Talk to them and find out who they are, why they have come here etc."
