Shloka 13
तत् प्रत्ययकरं लब्ध्वा सुग्रीवं प्लवगाधिपम् । पृथिव्यां वानरैश्वर्ये स्वयं रामो5भ्यषेचयत्,रावणद्वारा सीताके अपहृत होनेका यह विश्वासजनक प्रमाण पाकर श्रीरामने स्वयं ही वानरराज सुग्रीवको अखिल भूमण्डलके वानरोंके सम्राट्पदपर अभिषिक्त कर दिया
tat pratyayakaraṃ labdhvā sugrīvaṃ plavagādhipam | pṛthivyāṃ vānaraiśvarye svayaṃ rāmo 'bhyasecayat ||
Having obtained that convincing proof, Rāma himself consecrated Sugrīva, the lord of the monkeys, installing him as sovereign over the monkey-hosts upon the earth. The episode underscores that rightful authority is confirmed through reliable evidence and is established through a deliberate, dharma-aligned act of investiture rather than mere force.

After receiving convincing confirmation, Rāma personally performs the consecration of Sugrīva, installing him as the recognized ruler of the monkey forces across the earth.
