Summary of contents: Sampati 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 Jatayu 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 Sita. he acknowledged his having seen a youthful lady being borne away by Ravana and crying out ‘Rama’, which now leads him to think that she was no other than Shri Rama’s beloved spouse. Sampati further tells Angada how, gifted as he was with an inordinately long vision, he could see Lanka (the capital of Ravana) at a distance of one hundred Yojanas, as well as the place where Sita 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
