In this Sarga, Sugreeva wonders why Lakshmaṇa is angry while he had not done anything wrong. He wonders whether his enemies had relayed made-up stories about him to Lakshmaṇa. He says that he can never hope to requite Rāma for the favor he has done. He asks his ministers for counsel.
Hanuman then counsels Sugreeva saying that Rāghava cannot be found at fault for being angry, as he sees that Sugreeva is not ready for the expedition, even though the season of Ṡarat has arrived.
Hanuman suggests firmly that Sugreeva should go to Lakshmaṇa and prostrate to him and regain his pleasure.

Sugreeva, a man of integrity, got up from his seat
when he, along with his ministers,
heard from Aṅgada that Lakshmaṇa was angry.

He, who was skilled in strategy
and steady in his deliberations
then assessed the good and bad
and spoke to them who were adept at strategies:
4.32.3 ந மே துர்வ்யாஹ்ருதம் கிஞ்சித்
நாபி மே துரநுஷ்டிதம் ।

Neither did I say nor did I do anything wrong.
I wonder why Lakshmana, the brother of Rāghava, is angry.

My enemies, always in search of an opportunity,
lacking even basic decency,
would have relayed made-up stories about me
to the younger brother of Rāghava.

It is not that I fear Lakshmaṇa, or even Rāghava.
But the wrath of a (good) friend,
with no ground whatsoever for it,
is bound to raise concern, does it not?

There are many easy ways to make friends.
But it is not so easy to keep them.
Human nature being fickle,
friendships collapse even for trivial reasons.

When Sugreeva said this,
Hanuman, a bull among Vānaras,
put forward his thoughts
in the presence of all the ministers:

O lord of Vānara hosts!
There is no surprise at all that you
have not forgotten the signal service
done to you out of friendship.

Rāghava, the Veera, with no fear whatsoever,
killed Vāli of prowess equivalent to that of Ṡakra,
just to please you.
4.32.12 ஸர்வதா ப்ரணயாத்க்ருத்தோ

sarvathā praṇayātkṛddhō
rāghavō nātra saṃṡayaḥ ।
bhrātaraṃ samprahitavān
lakṣmaṇaṃ lakṣmivardhanam ॥
I do not think it is because of
lack of love that Rāghava is angry
or that he has sent his brother Lakshmana,
the augmenter of prosperity.

Though you are the foremost among
those who have a great sense of time,
you did not notice the passing of time
and the arrival of Ṡarat, with the
dark-tinted sheen of the Saptaparṇa trees in bloom,
having sunk in a lull.

With the clouds receding,
the sky is clear (glistening) with stars and planets.
The streams, the lakes and all the cardinals
are (calm, clear and) pleasant.

O bull among Vānaras! You have not realized that
the season for expeditions has arrived.
Your negligence was clear and
that is why Lakshmaṇa has come here.

You should give a patient ear to the word of Rāghava,
distraught at the loss of his wife,
that he has sent through a third person,
which might well be harsh.

I cannot see what else you can do,
being guilty of committing a lapse
than plead for the grace of Lakshmana,
with your palms joined in reverence.

A king would expect only the
best counsel from the appointed ministers.
Hence I have expressed my considered opinion fearlessly.

Rāghava in his wrath, holding the bow up in his hand,
is capable of bringing the entire world
including the Dēvas, Asuras and Gandharvas,
under his control.

His wrath should not be stirred,
rather his pleasure should be regained,
especially keeping the favor he has done earlier
in mind and being grateful for it.

O King! Bow your head and prostrate to him
along with your kith and kin.
Keep true to your vows and
be obedient (to him) like a wife to her husband.

You should not, O lord of Vānaras,
let the idea of flouting the orders of
Rāma and his younger brother, even enter your mind.
In your heart of hearts, you are well aware
of the power of these (two) humans,
Rāghava’s and his (Lakshmaṇa), whose splendor
rivals that of the lord of Dēvas.

Thus concludes the thirty second Sarga
in Kishkindhā Kāṇḍa of the glorious Rāmāyaṇa,
the first ever poem of humankind,
composed by Maharshi Vālmeeki.
You have completed reading 10339 Ṡlōkas out of ~24,000 Ṡlōkas of Vālmeeki Rāmāyaṇa.
