Vali and Sugreev were Surya's sons. Brahma blessed Vali to get half of his opponent's power in combat. He was unbeatable. He had defeated Ravan and carried him for days in his armpit. When Vali and Sugreev fought, Rama backed Sugreev. When Vali and Sugreev started fighting, Rama hid and used his bow to kill Vali. As he dies, Vali encourages Angad to assist Rama and continue in his uncle's footsteps.

10. Lord Vishnu was cursed by Narada

Narada was a penitent sage. Indra was scared and asked Vishnu to break his holiness. Vishnu became Mohini to lure Narada. Narada was anxious to attend the lass's Swayamvara. He asked Lord Vishnu for his wonderful looks that day. Vishnu nodded and stated he would help Narada. He reached the Swayamvara site unaware that Vishnu had given him a monkey-like visage.

In the ceremony, Narada with a monkey face is made fun of, and when he looks in the mirror, he becomes upset. He curses Vishnu, telling him that the monkey face can only be of assistance to him while he is in human form, and that, as the way he was split up from Mohini, he will also be split up from his love. Soon later, Mohini appears in the true form of Vishnu, and Narada feels remorse for cursing him.
