Sampāti and Jaṭāyu, once under a bet flew up towards the sun. Jaṭāyu outflew Sampāti, and in the exuberance of youth entered Sūrya’s orbit at noon time with the result that, due to the excessive heat his wings were scorched. At this Sampāti, to save his brother, flew up higher than Jaṭāyu and spread out his wings like an umbrella over Jaṭāyu with the result that Sampāti’s wings were burnt, and he fell down somewhere on the Vindhya mountains. He spent the rest of his life under the protection of a sage called Niśākara who was performing penance on the mountains. After their tragic meeting in Sūryamaṇḍala Sampāti and Jaṭāyu never again met in their life.
