Thus they discoursed among themselves in many ways. Sampåt∂* (Ja¢åyuís elder
brother) heard them from his cave in the mountain. When he came out of it and saw a
host of monkeys, he said to himself, ìGod has provided me with a feast: I will devour
them all today. I have been starving for many days past and have never had a full meal;
today God has supplied me with abundant food all at a time.î The monkeys trembled with
fear to hear the vultureís words. ìOur doom is now sealed, we are sure,î they said to
themselves. All the monkeys rose when they saw the vulture; while Jåmbavån felt much
perturbed at heart. A∆gada reflected within himself and said: ìThere is no one so blessed
as Ja¢åyu, who laid down his life in the service of ›r∂ Råma and ascended to the abode
of ›r∂ Hari, supremely lucky as he was.î When the bird (Sampåt∂) heard these words,
which stirred in him a mixed feeling of joy and grief, he drew near to the monkeys, who
felt alarmed by his presence. Assuring them of safety he went and enquired them about
his younger brother and the monkeys told him the whole story. When Sampåt∂ heard of
his brotherís obsequies (performed by the Lord with His own hands), he glorified the Lord
of Raghus in many ways. (1ó6)

ìTake me to the sea-shore, so that I may make an offering of water with sesamum
seeds (to my departed brother). I can help you only with my instructions, by following
which you will succeed in recovering Her whom you seek.î (27)
* We learn from ›r∂mad Bhågavata and other scriptures that the sage Ka‹yapa, the progenitor of gods
and demons as well as of the various sub-human species, begot two sons by Vinatå (the mother of the
feathered creation)óAruƒa and GaruŒa by name. Of these Aruƒa serves as the charioteer of the sun-god,
while GaruŒa was chosen by Bhagavån Viƒu as His own mount. Aruƒa is the father of Sampåt∂ and Ja¢åyu,
who thus belonged to the earliest period of the worldís history. Their enormous size and uncommon strength,
their astounding longevity and their speaking and behaving like human beings will therefore, cause little
wonder when it is remembered that the world has steadily deteriorated since its creation.
