Vali started throwing rocks and uprooting trees, threw that at the buffalo. Not affected, the buffalo rushed towards Vali. Vali held the buffalo by its horns and lifted it up. As if he was rotating a potter's wheel, Vali swung the buffalo by its horns in the air and then released it. The buffalo dashed its head against the ground and died. Vali then kicked the carcass of the buffalo.
The carcass, spilling blood all over, landed in the ashrama of the rishi Matanga, which was on the Rishyamukha mountain. The sage was angry and he quickly went and cleaned himself. He then put a curse saying - Whoever flung the carcass, if that person ever comes to Rishyamukha mountain, he will be calling his death.
When Vali heard this, he bowed down to the sage from a distance and decided never to go there.
Ending his tale, Sugriva said to Rama, as Vali knew of the curse he did not come to the mountain, which is why Sugriva and his friends had taken refuge there.
Rama said he would help Sugriva, by killing Vali.
Sugriva then said Vali was very strong and wise. He could travel at lightning speed. His strength was immense. He could throw a peak of mountain in mid air and catch it back.
Rama said he would be able to kill Vali.
Sugriva said Vali had kicked the carcass of Dudunbhi and it was lying there. Vali had made it fly a mile. Rama gently kicked the skeleton of the buffalo, and it went flying a hundred miles.
Sugriva said when Vali had kicked the carcass, it had flesh and blood. Now it was just a light skeleton.
Sugriva said he would tell more of Vali's strength. Ravana had once come to fight and defeat Vali. Vali was meditating then on the banks of the ocean. Ravana attacked Vali from behind. Without opening his eyes, Vali bound Ravana by his tail. He kept dunking Ravana in the ocean, using his tail.
When Vali finished his prayers, Ravana who was still tied to the tail, asked for forgiveness.
Rama said he had promised to help Sugriva, and he would do so.
Sugriva then pointed out to seven palm trees standing in a row. He said if Rama could pierce all seven with a single arrow, then he would be convinced that Vali would die in Rama's hand.
Rama, with a smile took out a arrow and with his right hand, released it. The arrow pierced the trees and then went down into the ground. Then taking the form of a swan, the arrow came back to Rama and taking back its own form, it entered Rama's quiver.
Sugriva was convinced, Rama would be able to kill Vali.
