Shloka 2
तेन तस्याभवत् सख्यं राघवस्य महात्मन: । स हत्वा वालिन राज्ये सुग्रीवमभिषिक्तवान्,वहाँ सुग्रीवके साथ महात्मा श्रीरघुनाथजीकी मित्रता हो गयी। तब उन्होंने वालीको मारकर किष्किन्धाके राज्यपर सुग्रीवका अभिषेक कर दिया
tena tasyābhavat sakhyaṃ rāghavasya mahātmanaḥ | sa hatvā vālin rājye sugrīvam abhiṣiktavān |
Dari perjumpaan itu terjalinlah persahabatan antara Rāghava yang berhati luhur dan Sugrīva. Sesudah itu, setelah menewaskan Vālin, Rāghava menobatkan Sugrīva sebagai raja atas negeri itu, menegakkan kembali tatanan yang benar.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharma in the form of restoring rightful rule through a pledged alliance: friendship (sakhya) creates obligations, and kingship is portrayed as legitimate when it protects order and corrects wrongful domination.
Vaiśampāyana recounts that Rāma (Rāghava) becomes friends with Sugrīva; then Rāma kills Vālin and installs Sugrīva as king over the realm (the Kiṣkindhā kingship episode).
