Having inspired confidence in the monkeys, Sampaati proceeds to relate to Angada and others, who longed to hear more about Sita, the story of Sita&#39;s abduction in greater detail. He tells them how, having fallen on the Vindhyan range with his wings completely burnt by the scorching sun, he swooned and regained consciousness only on the seventh day, when he came to know that it was the Vindhyan range on which he had fallen. Descending with difficulty from the eminence, he made his way into the hermitage of a sage named Nishakara, and bowed down to him. Recognising him to be Sampaati, the sage inquired as to how his wings had come to be burnt.Recitation:00:00 - 03:40Translation: 03:44 - 09:53
