Angada deciding to fast-unto-death in the Southern Sea shore near Mount Prasravana

Southern Sea near Mount Prasravana: Angada deciding to fast-unto-death:

(Valmiki Ramayana - Kishkindha Kanda - 53 to 55)

• Meditation: I meditate on Bhakta Hanuman proposing return to Sugreeva instead of fast-unto-death.

• Angada proposing fast-unto-death: Seeing the unending seashore and that the time allotted by Sugreeva for the search had elapsed, Angada proposed fast-unto-death, because upon returning without any news of Devi Sita, Sugreeva is sure to punish them. Vanara Tara proposed that they return to Riksha cavity and spend their lives there. Other vanaras also proposed to find a solution whereby they can live.
(Valmiki Ramayana - Kishkindha Kanda - 53)

• Hanuman proposing returning to Sugreeva: Hanuman explained that defecting from Sugreeva and living in Riksha cave is not a good idea. Firstly, arrows of Rama and Lakshmana can reach there. Secondly, the vanaras will not live long separated from their families and will finally desert him. Thirdly, it does not befit a brave like him to live inside a hideout. Hanuman proposed that they return to Sugreeva who will not punish them understanding their situation.
(Valmiki Ramayana - Kishkindha Kanda - 54)

• Angada deciding to fast-unto-death: Angada said that Sugreeva is not to be believed since he has done many misdeeds in the past. He blocked the entrance of the cave hole when his father was fighting demon Dundibhi. He took away his mother Tara. He killed his father through Rama. He even forgot the help of Rama and is only searching for Devi Sita out of fear of Lakshmana. Therefore he is not going to return to Sugreeva. Saying this Angada layed on the Darbha grass on the seashore for fast-unto-death. Other vanaras also follow him.
(Valmiki Ramayana - Kishkindha Kanda - 55)
