Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
The hero-prince of Ayodhyā, son of Daśaratha, exiled to the forest, whose wife Sītā is abducted by Rāvaṇa; he allies with the monkeys, slays Rāvaṇa, and returns to rule as an ideal king.

"These two ascetics — endowed with royal marks, Kuśa and Lava — are mighty in austerities.
Then, at Sugrīva's word, slaying Vālin in battle, Rāghava reinstated Sugrīva in that kingdom.
