Bali
In the Hindu epic Ramayana,
the vanara (Bali) Vali was king of Kishkindha, a son of Indra and the
elder brother of Sugriva. He was killed by Rama, an avatar of Vishnu.
Vali was famous for the boon that he had received, according to which
anyone who came before him lost half his strength to Vali, thereby
making Vali invulnerable to any
enemy. Once Ravana called Vali for a fight when Vali was doing his
regular Shiva Puja. He took Ravana in his tail and took him around all
the world. Humbled, Ravana called for a truce. It is said in the
Ramayana that Vali was very brave and courageous. Before dawn he used to go from eastern coast of sea to western coast and from northern coast of sea to southern coast to
pay his homage to Surya – the sun-god. He was so brave and powerful
that on his way to pay homage to Surya, he used to volleys the mountain
peaks upward and catch them as they are play balls. Also after the
completing the tedious task of paying homage to God Sun in all the four directions when he used to return to kishnkindha he does not feel any tiredness.
