This figure is first met by three travelers on the path to a forest, where he introduces himself by giving his entire genealogy.
This figure is first met by three travelers on the path to a forest, where he introduces himself by giving his entire genealogy. An alternate source claims this character fought Sambarasura so that Queen Kaikeyi could repair her husband's chariot. A son of that husband fired an arrow into the ground to summon seven rivers upon this figure's death. The elder brother of this ally of Dasharatha may have inspired the myth of Icarus when that brother flew too close to the sun, burned off his wings, and fell to his presumed death. That brother, Sampati, was attempting to shield this figure, who turned black from the heat. In his best known appearance, this character attempted to save a woman crying out for the birds and beasts of the forest to save her from her abductor; but, like his brother, this figure lost his wings instead. For 10 points, name this vulture who was slain by Ravana during the abduction of Sita.
