Come—let us go to lovely Pampa. Not far from here shines Mount Ṛṣyamūka, where righteous Sugrīva, son of the Sun, dwells—ever afraid of Vālī—together with four monkeys.
Thereafter, going slowly to a distance, Rama and Lakshmana saw Pampa surrounded by beautiful forests full of many varieties of birds.ityārṣa śrīmadrāmāyaṇē vālmīkīya ādikāvyē araṇyakāṇḍē pañcasaptatimassargaḥ৷৷Thus ends the seventyfifth sarga of Aranyakanda of the holy Ramayana the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
Dharma is pursued through rightful alliance and compassionate strategy: Rama moves toward Sugriva, a wronged and fearful figure, implying that justice often requires cooperation with the virtuous.
Rama proposes going to Lake Pampa and identifies Mount Rishyamuka as Sugriva’s refuge due to fear of Vali.
Rama’s purposeful leadership—seeking the right person (Sugriva) and the right place to advance a righteous mission.
