After the cremation, Shri Ram tells Lakshman to crown Sugrive. Shri Ram consoles Tara and tells Sugriv and Hanuman to perform the last rites of Bali in a befitting manner. Bali appeals to Shri Ram to protect Angad. Tara falls on the ground and clasping Bali, sets up a wall of woe.
Bali consoles him and tells him that his first and foremost duty is to help Shri Ram find his consort.
