Sugrīva · Atlas

in the texts

The monkey king who allies with Rāma against his brother Vālin and is reinstated as king of the monkeys.

Then Sugrīva, the foremost of monkeys, golden-tawny in hue, roared;

Then, at Sugrīva's word, slaying Vālin in battle, Rāghava reinstated Sugrīva in that kingdom.

Although Rāma pledged the slaying of Vālin, Sugrīva was always doubtful about Rāghava's valor.

Mythological monkey king from the Rāmāyaṇa, cited as an example of being harmed by kin and helped by strangers

But Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, though they were strangers, were nevertheless sought by him in the middle of the forest to be the medicine for Sugrīva's pain.
