When Lord Rāma asked Jaṭāyu about Sītā-devī’s abduction, before he could speak about it, he consoled Him by saying that she was kidnapped during the muhūrta named Vinda which indicates that she would be retrieved by the glory of that muhūrta. Jaṭāyu gave up his body while describing Rāvaṇa. Śrī Rāma then lamented over his death and blessed him to attain Viṣṇuloka. He then cremated Jaṭāyu’s body and offered him water and piṇḍa.
