Praising Providence out of joy at the prospect of deriving sustenance for a long time on seeing a band of monkeys even as it emerged from a cave of the Vindhyan range on hearing their noise, the vulture king, Sampati (the elder brother of Jatayu), expresses his determination to eat them all up one after another. Depressed to hear the vow and declaring Jatayu, who had met his death at the hands of Ravana in the service of Sri Rama, while trying to deliver Sita from the former's clutches, as more fortunate than any of them, who were threatened with death even before accomplishing the purpose of Sri Rama, Angada reproaches Kaikeyi who was at the root of the whole mischief. Distressed to hear these words of Angada and telling Angada that he was the elder brother of Jatayu, and at the same time inquiring about the death of his younger brother, Sampati requests Angada to help him slide down from his high post adding that, his wings having been burnt, he was unable to fly.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:14Translation: 04:17 - 11:08
