Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa during their search in the forest for Sītā came upon Jaṭāyu lying without wings almost dead and reciting Rāma’s name. Jaṭāyu described to Rāma how Rāvaṇa had carried away Sītā and how he had tried to stop him and fought with him. After giving this account he died. Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa lit a fire and cremated Jaṭāyu. The great bird’s soul attained salvation.
