Sugriva tells him the story of how Vali became his enemy. In Sugriva's version, he is entirely innocent and Rama believes him. Sugriva is very scared of Vali and he is full of doubts that Rama could kill him. He tells him many incredible stories of Vali's power. As proof, he shows Rama a hole in a saal tree which Vali had made in one shot. When it is Rama's turn, he penetrates 7 trees of saal in a row with 1 arrow.
After going through the trees, the arrow even makes a strike on a huge rock and splits it into pieces. Sugriva is happy and says, "O Rama, you are great. Rama asks Sugriva to challenge Vali and bring him outside Kishkindha. As Rama explains later, for 14 years he cannot enter a city. Moreover, Rama does not want any unnecessary bloodbath of Vali's army with whom he wants to maintain friendly relations. Despite this, killing Vali would not be impossible for Rama as Sugriva and Vali were identical twins.
Just a few days before, Rama had killed Khar and Dushan and their army of 14, rakshasas. Sugriva formed an alliance with Rama. Rama had been travelling the length of India in search of his kidnapped wife, Sita. Sugriva asked Rama's help in return for his help in defeating Ravana and rescuing Sita. The two hatched a plan to topple Vali from the throne. Sugriva challenged Vali to a fight.

When Vali sallied forth to meet the challenge, Rama emerged from the forest to shoot and kill him with an arrow from the back of a tree. A dying Vali told Rama, "If you are searching for your wife you should have come to me for help and friendship.
Whoever took Sita , be it Ravana himself, I would have defeated them and would have brought them to your feet, to your mercy. After death of Vali, Sugriva recaptures his kingdom and regains his wife Ruma. Angada , son of Vali and his wife Tara, is made Yuvraja, or the crown prince. Rama's slaying of Vali had a special significance. At the beginning, Vali argued with Lord Rama, why he had to kill him in a cowardly way. Rama explained to him about the various purusharthas and showed him his Vishvarupa and how everything was pre-ordained according to the Kala-chakra and granted him moksha.
Vali was then convinced and also asked his son Angada to stand by his uncle Sugriva and assist in the divine work of Lord Rama. Vali was reincarnated as a hunter and archer Jara in Mahabharata Dwapar Yug. Jara was the cause of the death of Shri Krishna the reincarnation of Shri Rama when he struck his feet by an arrow taking them to be a deer.

But all Vali could think about was the challenge Dundubhi had issued. I was t old to stay inside the castle, but I had never seen my father fight before. I climbed out of the castle wall, darted from tree to tree, then jumped over a mountain, landing yards away from where my father and Dundubhi were squaring off.
Uncle Sugreeva stood watching nearby, ordered by my father not to interfere. Vali and Dundubhi lunged at each other and grappled. They each put each other in headlocks, and struck each other in the head and abdomen. Soon, my father was able to land a few good punches on Dundubhi. The demon bull was on his knees, pleading with Vali to spare his life. He picked up the corpse by his hooves and spun around and around, and then hurl ed the body as far as it would go.
Hundreds of miles away, in his hermitage, the Sage Matanga was performing a yanga when out of the sky flew the body of the dead demon.

The body landed right next to the sage with the mouth gaped open over the holy fire, dripping blood. Sage Matanga, outraged, yelled a curse into the sky that whoever had desecrated his prayer would have his head explode if he ever stepped foot onto the mountain where he lived.

At the entrance of Kiskinda, Sugreeva was speaking to his brother when his loyal servant, the white-furred Hanuman came to deliver a message. But before Hanuman could speak, the clouds grew dark as flies and Indra, father of Vali, appeared before the three. And that, friends, is how my father was cursed by the Sage Matanga and how he, uncle Sugreeva, and Hanuman knew of the curse. Please, stay a while longer and hear how a series of misunderstandings cost my father his most loyal follower.
