As the Vanara warriors lay on the sands of the Southern ocean, the ancient bird Sampathi, brother of Jatayu came out of his cave in the Vindhya Mountains. A majestic bird, which was to live-forever, whom death would never touch and was once famed for his strength and valor, was now feeble with age. From his perch on the rocky summits of his home, he saw countless monkeys dotting the shores below. The sight pleased him and he said, " God in his mercy sustains all creatures according to their Karma. It is perhaps destiny that has at last sent me food in the form of these monkeys!" It was Sampathi's moment of delight and Angada's moment of despair as he said "Hanuman our mission is incomplete, the king's mandate remains unfulfilled and now we face this peril and probable destruction." "We have all heard of Jatayu who fought and died for Rama's cause. He is lucky to be dead and in heaven and not living in fear of Sugriva! When all creatures, even the lowliest among them are ready to die for Rama, we who are here for the explicit purpose of finding his consort are ready to kill ourselves". Angada also blamed the many events from Kaikeyi's boons to Sita's abduction as reasons for their present predicament. Listening to Angada, Sampathi too grew sad.
