Ramayan

Sugriv becomes king (1x39)

:

Sugriv is repentant and in tears. Vali consoles him and tells him that his first and formost duty is to help Shri Ram find his consort. Tara, Vali's wife and son Angad arrive. Tara falls on the ground and clasping Vali, sets up a wall of woe. Before dying Vali appeals to Shri Ram to protect Angad. Shri Ram consoles Tara and tells Sugriv and Hanuman to perform the last rites of Vali in a befitting manner. After the cremation, Shri Ram tells Lakshman to crown Sugrive as Ram has vowed not to enter any city till the end of his exile. He then turns to Sugrive and says: "Go and take up the reins of the kingdom and crown Angad as the Yuvaraj."
