51.Vali   told   Rama   that   he   would   have   brought   back   Janaki   whether
secreted   in   the   ocean's   waters   or   even   in   the   nether   worlds   on   your
command   like   by   Lord   Vishnu   as   Hayagriva   brought   back   the   vedas
stolen   away   by   the   demons   Madhu   and   Kaitabha   in   the   form   of   a   white
horse.

52.Vali   told   Rama   that   when   he   had   gone   to   heaven,   it   is   proper   for

unrighteously.

53.Vali   told   Rama   to   let   bygones   be   bygones   since   things   happen   in   this

to   his   question.
