Baghavatas!
I need your help in clarifying portions of Ramayana.
I recall that the Vanaras descend from Heaven, originating from
the gods there. Hanuman is Maruthi's progrny. I think Sugriva
is from the Sun and Vali from Indra. Am I correct?
Yhe corresponding characters in Mahabhrata are Bhima, Karna
and Arjuna.
It is interesting that Vali and Karna have similar fates,
Sugriva and Arjuna's lives correspond to each other.
Adiyen,
Krishna Praba
