Jatayu / जटायु

• Jatayu was a vulture, son of Arun by his wife Shyeni, and younger brother of Sampati.
• Once Jatayu and his brother Sampati, competing with each other, flew towards the sun.
• Jatayu flew very close and would have got scorched had not Sampati flown above him and spreading his great wings, protected Jatayu from the fiery heat of the sun.
• Sampati's wings got scorched and he fell down among the Vindhya mountains. Jatayu never met his brother thereafter.
• When Ravan was carrying away Sita, Jatayu tried to deliver Sita, but was fatally wounded by Ravan who cut off his wings.
• Thus it was that Ram and Lakshman found him. Jatayu told them about Ravan and then breathed his last.
• Ram and Lakshman then cremated Jatayu, who attained salvation.
