Introduction   Rama and the other two on their way to Panchavati come into

and informs Rama that he is a friend of King Dasharatha and would like to
help Rama in exile.

"Kadru gave birth to a thousand-headed serpent who is the bearer of this
earth, and Vinata gave birth to two sons namely Garuda and Aruna. [3-14-32]

Garuda is the eagle-vehicle of Lord Vishnu, while Aruna, also called
Anuuru, for he is a thigh-less being, is the charioteer of Sun's
seven-horse chariot. The seven horses of Sun's chariot are the seven
colours in vibgyor as in a rainbow. Aruna and Garuda are of avian
origination and attributed to be the speediest propellers, and Jatayu and
Sampati belong to that lineage.

तस्मात् जातो अहम् अरुणात् संपातिः च मम अग्रजः |
जटायुर् इति माम् विद्धि श्येनी पुत्रम् अरिंदम || ३-१४-३३

Sun, and my elder brother Sampati too, hence know me as Jatayu, the son of
Shyenii. [3-14-33]

सो अहम् वास सहायः ते भविष्यामि यदि इच्छ्हसि |
इदम् दुर्गम् हि कान्तारम् मृग राक्षस सेवितम्
सीताम् च तात रक्षिष्ये त्वयि याते सलक्ष्मणे || ३-१४-३४

"Such as I am, I can be your helpmate at your residence if only you wish me
to... oh, boy, this impassable forest is a beloved one to predators and
demons, isn't it... as such I can take care of Seetha if you and Lakshmana
go out..." Thus Jatayu said to Rama. [3-14-34]

जटायुषम् तु प्रतिपूज्य राघवो
मुदा परिष्वज्य च सन्नतो अभवत् |
पितुर् हि शुश्राव सखित्वम् आत्मवान्
जटायुषा संकथितम् पुनः पुनः || ३-१४-३५

Raghava revered Jatayu in his turn by gladly hugging and stood by him with
his head bent, and that kind-natured Rama is indeed regardful of the
friendship of his father with Jatayu that is repeatedly said by Jatayu.
[3-14-35]

स तत्र सीताम् परिदाय मैथिलीम्
सह एव तेन अतिबलेन पक्षिणा |
जगाम ताम् पंचवटीम् सलक्ष्मणो
रिपून् दिधक्षन् शलभान् इव अनलः || ३-१४-३६

He that Rama took the princess from Mithila Seetha, and proceeded to
Panchavati along with that very mighty bird and Lakshmana, as though to
incinerate enemies, like fire that burns down grasshoppers. [3-14-36] र्गः
