35,36.The best
among monkeys told Angada
that Sugriva is vehement
by
nature and
the Rama is fond of
his wife. Seeing them return
having failed to
accomplish the
task in the time limit
and seeing them return
without Sita
being found
Sugriva would doubtless kill
them in order to please
Rama.
Moreover, seeking
the presence of their master
for offenders is not proper.
