On seeing the remarkable Lakshmana who entered unimpededly wearing an angry face looking like a blazing fire, Sugreeva became highly agitated and nervous. He (Sugreeva) hopped up from his golden seat (like a monkey he was) and tottered like the highly decorated flagstaff of Indra, which would be wobbling before it is thrown to the ground after the ritual.
In his agitation Sugreeva did not disentangle himself from the wreathed wenches. Consequently his wife Ruma and the other pretty lassies accompanied him in his fall.
With bloodshot eyes due to excess drinking Sugreeva flurried towards Lakshmana adjoining palms in supplication, and stood in attention, like a soldier.
Infuriated Lakshmana scoffed at Sugreeva, who, like the star clustered moon, was surrounded by his wife Ruma and other vanara females "It is the well known maxim that the characteristics of a king who desire to thrive are dynamism, abounding with best troopers, sympathetic, senses conquered, a faithful one and an advocate of truth. Who can be more ruthless than the one who is enthroned as a king but anchored himself to dishonesty and makes fake assurances to helpful friends?

"A person gets attached to the sin of killing of a hundred horses if he promises to gift one horse but fails to do so, and in promising to gift one cow but failing to do so, then he gets the sin of killing a thousand cows, and if he belies to a person to do the needful help, he then gets the sin of killing himself along with his own kith and kin.
"He who gets his means fulfilled earlier through his friends but does not requite them, such a treacherous one is ruthlessly eliminable.
"About such perfidious persons, Brahma has irefully declared this verse which is reverenced by all the worlds
" 'Savants have ordained atonement for slayers of cows, for drinkers of liquors, for thieves and infringers of solemnity, but no atonement is available to a treacherous person.' Oh, Vanara, you have got your purpose fulfilled and you are not reciprocating help to Rama, thereby you are an uncultured and unfriendly one, and illusive is your word of honour. Oh, Vanara, you achieved your means through Rama, and happily enjoying the fruits, forgetting completely Rama.
"You are an illusive promisor basking in churlish pleasures. Rama did not realise that you were a serpent with the croaking of a frog. By the kind benevolence of the highly prudent and compassionate Rama, you, the sinner, got the kingdom of vanaras, and it is now evident that it is a gain for an evil-soul from a noble-soul. If you do not recognize and appreciate what the noble-souled Raghava has done to you, you are liable to be killed instantly with incisive arrows enabling you to see Vali.

"Oh, Sugreeva, abide by your commitment. The path by which the slain Vali had gone is not shut down, and as such do not tread Vali's path.
"I am sure that you are not envisaging the Thunderbolt similar arrows from the bow of Rama, thereby you are enjoying luxuries joyously, forgetting or ignoring completely your commitment to Rama."
