Kiskindhākānda - Canto 56

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, Sampāti (the elder brother of Jatāyu), expresses his determination to eat them all up one after another. Depressed to hear the vow and declaring Jatāyu, who had met his death at the hands of Rāvana in the service of Śrī Rāma, while trying to deliver Sītā from the former's clutches, as more fortunate than any of them, who were threatened with death even before accomplishing the purpose of Śrī Rāma, Angada reproaches Kaikeyī 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 Jatāyu, and at the same time inquiring about the death of his younger brother, Sampāti requests Angada to help him slide down from his high post adding that, his wings having been burnt, he was unable to fly.
