Jaṭáyus, guardian good and wise,
Our old and faithful friend,
The best and strongest bird that flies,
His willing aid will lend
The Maithil lady well protect,
For every chance provide,
And in thy tender care suspect
A foe on every side.”
In plain words: Rama adds that Jatayus, the wise old vulture king and their faithful friend, will help protect Sita. He asks Lakshman to stay watchful, as if enemies were on every side.
