Sapta Tala / Chaitanya Sending them to Vaikunta


Sugreeva was very scared of Bali and he is full of doubts that Rama could kill him. He tells him many stories of Bali's power. As a proof, he shows Rama a hole in a saal tree which Baali had made in one shot. When it is Rama's turn, he penetrates seven trees of saal(Sapta Tala) in a row with one arrow. After crossing the trees, the arrow even makes a strike on a huge rock and splits it into pieces. Sugreeva is happy and says, "O Rama, you are great."
