Sugrīva related to Rāma the story of his expulsion from Kiṣkindhā by Bāli, his elder brother. Sugrīva wanted a powerful ally to recapture the country. Similarly Śrī Rāma too wanted a powerful ally to regain Sītā. So both the parties entered into an alliance, Rāma undertaking to kill Bāli and restore his kingdom and his wife to Sugrīva and Sugrīva undertaking to search for and find out Sītā for Rāma.
