Sāvitrī’s Trirātra-Vrata and Departure with Satyavān (सावित्रीव्रतनिश्चयः सहगमनं च)
स ददर्श तदा सीतां रावणाड्कगतां स्नुषाम् | सक्रोधो<भ्यद्रवत् पक्षी रावण राक्षसेश्वरम्,इसी नाते सीताको वे अपनी पुत्रवधू मानते थे। जब जटायुने उन्हें रावणकी गोदमें पराधीन होकर पड़ी हुई देखा तब उनके क्रोधकी सीमा न रही। वे राक्षसराज रावणपर टूट पड़े
sa dadarśa tadā sītāṃ rāvaṇāṅkagatāṃ snuṣām | sa-krodho 'bhyadravat pakṣī rāvaṇaṃ rākṣaseśvaram ||
随后他看见悉多——他视之如儿媳——无助地卧在罗波那的膝上。大鸟因义愤而怒不可遏,径直扑向罗波那,那罗刹之主。
मार्कण्डेय उवाच
Dharma demands active protection of those who are forcibly oppressed; righteous indignation becomes ethically meaningful when it moves one to defend the vulnerable, even against a stronger aggressor.
Jatāyu sees Sītā being carried off and held under Rāvaṇa’s control; treating her as family (snuṣā), he charges at Rāvaṇa in an attempt to stop the abduction.
