KISHKINDHA KAND 

Kishkindha Kand deals mainly with the power of friendliness. If one has good many friends from every walk of life, his interest remains well cared and well protected. That is why for better statesmanship establishing warm friendly relation make one stronger  and also creating any rift in friendly relation of enemy country makes the enemy weaker and it becomes easy to defeat the enemy. To establish friendship and to presume friendship, it requires to give all out support moral, physical, material and immaterial and take the sufferings of his friend more seriously than his own suffering.

Ram being defeated the mighty army of Kher and Dushan and killed both the brothers sent a message much beyond the boundary of the forest to Ravan. Also, the message reached Kishkindha, the capital of the great King Bali and his exiled brother Sugriva. Sugriva was exiled by his mighty brother Bali and he used to reside on a mountain along with his wisest minister Hanuman where Bali could not have gone due to certain curse of a Muni. Since Sugriv was suffering exilement and heard of Rama's nobility, his compassion for suffering people and uncommon warfare skill, he sent Hanuman his wisest minister, to know of the mind of Ram and establish good rapport with him if he could be of some help to him in recovering his lost kingdom and his wife. Hanuman met with Ram and Ram was very much influenced with the wisdom and caliber of Hanuman. He found proposition of Hanuman very good and favorable for mutual trust and mutual cooperation. So, with the help of Hanuman friendship was established between Ram and Sugriv. Ram took oath to kill Bali and appoint him the King of Kishkindha and Sugriv in turn should explore the where about of Sita. Ram fulfilled his commitment by killing Bali and Sugriv was appointed the King of Kishkindha. Later with the help of Sugriv all round search for Sita was conducted in the leadership of Angad, the son of Bali and crown prince (yuvraj) of Kishkindha. Jamwant, the most senior, experienced and valiant minister of Sugriv, found Hanuman most pertinent, brave, wise, capable and controller of all the ten senses and his mind for the most tedious task because Lanka was so fortified by natural location and being guarded by strong and wise warriors and spies that it was not possible any enemy to slip into the territory of Lanka.
