Even while Sampaati was this talking with the monkeys, a pair of beautiful wings shoot forth on his sides. Feeling transported with joy at their sight and showing them to the monkeys, assuring them that their purpose too will likewise be achieved, Sampati soars to the sky in order to test the power of his wings. Feeling encouraged by this, the monkeys too resume their journey further south.Recitation: 00:00 - 02:54Translation: 02:56 - 07:16
