Vanaras meeting Sampati: Sampati, the brother of Jatayu (who abided on that mountain-top), listened to the vanaras glorifying the sacrifice of Jatayu. He requested the vanaras to bring him down from the mountain-top so that he can listen more about Jatayu. The vanaras brought him down and Angada narrated their plight to him. Sampati told his story of how his wings got burnt when he and brother Jatayu once playfully tried to reach the Sun and he trying to protect Jatayu with his wings. Sampati offered water oblations for his brother and then narrated that he has seen Devi Sita while she was being abducted by Ravana and told about Lanka where Devi Sita is lodged. The vanaras became instilled with a new hope. Sampati also told how his son Suparshva saw Ravana and Devi Sita in the sky. Sampati told about sage Nishakara who predicted that he will get back his wings when he gives the information of Devi Sita to the vanaras who will come there (while searching for Devi Sita). Sage Nishakara also gave temporary small wings to Sampati for survival till that time. After Sampati performed the service of Rama by giving the information of Devi Sita to the vanaras, he regained his new wings and vitality and flew off joyfully. The vanaras proceeded towards the southern direction with new hope.
