Kiskindhākānda - Canto 31

Concluding from the angry words of Śrī Rāma that he was wroth against Sugrīva, Laksmana gets ready to kill the latter. Pacifying Laksmana, Śrī Rāma, however, sends him to Sugrīva with instructions to adopt a conciliatory attitude towards him. Reaching Kiskindhā with a bow and arrow in hand and assuming an angry demeanour, Laksmana asks Angada to announce his arrival to Sugrīva. Even when apprised of Laksmana's arrival by Angada, Sugrīva, who was drunk with wine, is unable to follow Angada and comes to realize the gravity of the situation only on hearing the clamour of the alarmed monkeys and on being awakened to the reality by two of his foremost ministers and implored by them to pacify Laksmana.
