Kiskindhākānda - Canto 58

Sampāti tells Angada how having once soared with his younger brother to the neighbourhood of the solar orb in his eagerness to test their relative strength and flying power, he had his own wings burnt in trying to save the wings of Jatāyu by spreading his own wings over them as a canopy, and dropped on a peak of the Vindhyan range. Inquired by Angada if he knew anything about the abduction of Sītā, he acknowledged his having seen a youthful lady being borne away by Rāvana and crying out 'Rāma, which now leads him to think that she was no other than Śrī Rāma's beloved spouse. Sampāti further tells Angada how, gifted as he was with an inordinately long vision, he could see Lankā, the capital of Rāvana, at a distance of one hundred Yojanas, as well as the place where Sītā has been lodged. On his expressing a desire to offer water to the spirit of his deceased brother, the monkeys take him to the seashore and bring him back on his having concluded the rite.
