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.
Although Rāma pledged the slaying of Vālin, Sugrīva was always doubtful about Rāghava's valor.
At Nandigrāma, having laid aside his matted locks, the sinless Rāma together with his brothers, reunited with Sītā, recovered his kingdom.
Duly honored by Śabarī, Rāma the son of Daśaratha met on the shore of Pampā with Hanūmān, the monkey.
