Vali (Ramayana)

Vali obtained a pendant from his father, Indra, that which allowed him to restore his energy even when nearing death, making him a formidable fighter.

According to the epic, fourteen types of gems or treasures were produced from the churning of the ocean during the time of the Kurma avatar.

Vali replied to Tara that, even if he were to face a god in battle, he could not ignore a challenge and remain silent.

[2] According to the Ramayana, a fierce demon named Mayavi came to the gates of Kishkindha and challenged Vali to a fight.

[4] Vali wore the powerful pendant given to him by his father, Indra, during his battle with the demon Dhundubhi and defeated him.

While wandering in the Kronch forest with his brother Lakshmana in search of his wife Sita, who had been kidnapped by the rakshasa king Ravana, Rama encounters a gandharva stuck in the body of a distorted demon named Kabandha and kills him, freeing him from a curse.

[5] As Rama continues his journey, he meets Hanuman and is impressed by his intelligence and oratory skills, which also boosts his confidence in Sugriva.

Additionally, Rama does not want to provoke an unnecessary bloodbath with Vali's army, with whom he wishes to maintain friendly relations.

Vali was then convinced and asked his son Angada to stand by his uncle Sugriva and assist in the divine work of Rama.

[citation needed] Vali's son, Angada, joined Rama's army and was given important responsibilities in the war against Ravana.

Later, Vali was born as Jara the hunter in Dvapara Yuga destined to kill Krishna, the next avatar of Vishnu, in the same manner as foretold by Rama.
