circumstances. And also tell her my mind is aways with her, so she will understand my situation.‖ ―Mahaavir, Console Sitaa and calm her. She will be very distressed separated from me, and to protect her life. We will come as quickly as possible to fetch her.‖ Hearing the message of the Lord, Mahaavirji was overcome with emotions. With great care he kept the ring. He realised that despite Bhagwaan had despatched the monkey troops in all four directions, it was just a play act of the world as he really wished to give the glory of discovering Sitaaji to him. Hanumaanji bowed at the feet of Bhagwaan and taking his battalion departed in the southerly direction. What delay in the task of Bhagwaan? The monkey troupes searched the four corners of the earth, but would they not only find Bhagwati Jaankiji if she was there? At last all the troupes gathered in the south and mixed with Mahaavir‘s troupes. The battalion of the south was pressing forward. All the battalions were getting tired. Sitaaji was to be seen no where. Hanumaan, Angad and Jaambvaan were looking all worn out. They were all distressed by hunger and thirst. There was no sign of fruits or water.. They were searching a dreadful mountain for Sitaaji, when in the valley of the mountain was observed greenery. Hanumaanji assumed there was some garden, forest or water reservoir. Taking the monkeys, he arrived down. After coming down he found many birds coming out of a cave with water dripping from their wings. All were distressed by thirst so their first task was to have drink of water. So they decided to enter the cave holding each other‘s hands. The cave was lovely, entering which were seen number of streams. All the monkeys after so many days drank water after so many days. Walking forward they observed sweet fruit trees. In the middle of the garden they found a female mendicant. Taking permission of the mendicant the monkeys ate the fruits. The monkeys were re-energised having eaten the fruits and drunk water. And they went to the mendicant and bowed to her. The surprised mendicant asked: ―O! How come you have all come here?‖ Hanumaanji explained all the facts: ―All these monkeys are ambassadors of Sri Raamchandraji.‖ Having learned this, the mendicant was very pleased and she said: ―Bhagwaan‘s followers! Bhagwaan Raam is residing on Rushyamukh mountain – having heard that I am very eager to to get vision of him. You all close your eyes, so you will be able to come out of this cave. Coming out of the cave you will realise the way to search for Jaankiji.‖ According to the words of the mendicant, all the monkeys shut their eyes. And when they opened them, they found themselves on the shore of the ocean. Ahead was the interminable water bearer jewel carrier taking swings. On the coast were ranges of mountains on both the sides of them. All looked on surprised, as where they were sitting, opposite was Lankaapuri. Monkeys seated on the coast were all saddened, how will they get to know the location of Jaankiji, they worried. All were silent. Just then Angadji said: ―Brother Hanumaan! We are done both ways. We cannot find location of Sitaaji, and without knowing where she is we cannot go back as Sugriv will not let be alive. And here there is hundred yojan long ocean confronting us.‖ 102 | P a g e

―Now you decide what we need to do. I am not willing to go back to Pampaapuri. Just here on the coast conducting the ritual fasting to death is better than facing death at the hands of Sugriv.‖ Many monkeys agreed with Angad‘s comments. All the monkeys sitting there commenced thinking of fasting. But in all tasks of the beings there is the Lord‘s help. In the range of mountains on one side resided a wingless elderly eagle by the name of Sampaati. He was eagle king Jataayu‘s brother. In their youth both brothers had attempted to fly to SuryaNaaraayan (Sun). Smapaati‘s wings got burned by the firey rays of the sun, and he dropped down from the sky. Just at that time there was a rushi meditating. He consoled Sampaati, and the rushi said: ―Brother! In very short time Bhagwaan Raam‘s followers will arrive here. You help those followers to locate Sitaaji. At that time your new wings will grow.‖ Hearing these words, Smapaati‘s enthusiasm was rejuvenated. Although wingless and and without consciousness, he came and sat in the cave. Those beings who came into the cave by accident, he would devour them and awaited the arrival of Bhagwaan Raam‘s followers‘ arrival. Seeing so many monkeys seated silently at the coast, Sampaati came out of the cave. He thought: ―Great ! Today I have found meal of so many monkeys. Devouring them, I will satisfy my hunger of long time.‖ Eagle King Sampaati Sampaati‘s form was like that of a vast mountain. Listening words of such fearful eagle, the monkeys were all frightened. And some started to run in fear. Great warrior Hanumaanji referring to the monkeys said: ―Brothers, there is no cause for fear. Seeing this elderly eagle, I get reminded of Jataayu. Oh, how lucky was Jataayu. Carryiung out the task of Raghunaathji, he has become immortal!‖ Hearig the name of his brother, Sampaati‘s anger simmered down. He said: ―Brothers! Do not be frightened. I wish learn the news of my brother Jataayu.‖ Angadji came forward, and coming to Sampaati he said: ―When Raavan was abducting Sitaaji, at that time Jataayu battled with Raavan. With great valour he confronted him. But in the end Raavan cut off both his wings. Thereafter in search of Sitaaji, Sri Raam and Laxmanji arrived there, where upon Jataayu left his mortal body at their feet.‖ Hearing of the demise of his brother, Sampaati was very pained. Two monkeys lifted him and seated on the shore of the ocean. In honour of his brother, Sampaati bathed himself and offered water from the ocean by his hands as tribute. Ridding himself of the sadness, Sampaati said: ―Followers of Bhagwaan Raam! I am from the eagle dynasty. On the other side of the ocean, about one hundred yojans away is a mountain called Trikut. On that mountain there is golden city of Lankaa. Raavan is the king there. It is surrounded and protected by strong demons. Without Raavan‘s permission, even air cannot enter the city. In this Lankaa city, Sitaaji is seated all saddened. At times she cries. At other times she sits speecless. Meditating on Sri Raam, she sits there motionless.‖ ―The one who tranverses the hundred yojans to enter Lankaa, he will see Sitaaji. Who and how to get there, you now have to decide.‖ Hanumaanji, Angadji and Jaambvaan all looked at each other. Whereupon Sampaati suddenly developed his wings. And taking leave he departed. 103 | P a g e

―Now you decide what we need to do. I am not willing to go back to Pampaapuri. Just<br />

here on the coast conducting the ritual fasting to death is better than facing death at the<br />

hands of Sugriv.‖<br />

Many monkeys agreed with Angad‘s comments. All the monkeys sitting there<br />

commenced thinking of fasting.<br />

But in all tasks of the beings there is the Lord‘s help. In the range of mountains on one<br />

side resided a wingless elderly eagle by the name of Sampaati. He was eagle king<br />

Jataayu‘s brother. In their youth both brothers had attempted to fly to SuryaNaaraayan<br />

(Sun). Smapaati‘s wings got burned by the firey rays of the sun, and he dropped down<br />

from the sky.<br />

Just at that time there was a rushi meditating. He consoled Sampaati, and the rushi said:<br />

―Brother! In very short time Bhagwaan Raam‘s followers will arrive here. You help those<br />

followers to locate Sitaaji. At that time your new wings will grow.‖<br />

Hearing these words, Smapaati‘s enthusiasm was rejuvenated. Although wingless and<br />

thought: ―Great ! Today I have found meal of so many monkeys. Devouring them, I will<br />

Eagle King Sampaati<br />

Sampaati‘s form was like that of a vast mountain. Listening words of such fearful eagle,<br />

the monkeys were all frightened. And some started to run in fear.<br />

Great warrior Hanumaanji referring to the monkeys said: ―Brothers, there is no cause for<br />

fear. Seeing this elderly eagle, I get reminded of Jataayu. Oh, how lucky was Jataayu.<br />

Carryiung out the task of Raghunaathji, he has become immortal!‖<br />

Hearig the name of his brother, Sampaati‘s anger simmered down. He said: ―Brothers!<br />

Do not be frightened. I wish learn the news of my brother Jataayu.‖<br />

Angadji came forward, and coming to Sampaati he said: ―When Raavan was abducting<br />

Sitaaji, at that time Jataayu battled with Raavan. With great valour he confronted him.<br />

and how to get there, you now have to decide.‖<br />

Hanumaanji, Angadji and Jaambvaan all looked at each other. Whereupon Sampaati<br />

suddenly developed his wings. And taking leave he departed.<br />
