The Gods said Indra did not want a war with Indra.
Dashratha asked why then was there a drought in Ayodhya. He said a promise had been made by Indra, but the promise was not being kept. He said, if the drought was not removed, he would take over Amaravati, kingdom of Indra.
The gods went to Indra and conveyed what the king had said. Indra said he was not afraid of what a human was saying. The Gods told Indra to be afraid. Dashratha had a sound missile, called the Shabdabhedi baan. This weapon could identify the sound of its source, and strike based on that. If Dashratha released that, it be sure death.
Indra taking their advise went and welcome the king. Dashratha asked what was the reason for the drought. Indra said this was because of Saturn in the Rohini constellation, which was causing this.
Dashratha taking leave of Indra, started towards where Shani lived. When Shani looked at the king, his chariot broke and the horses fell on the ground. The king started falling towards the ground.
The great bird, Jatayu, was in the skies when he saw the king fall. The bird spread its wings and the king landed on the wings. Getting up, the king started preparing his chariot to go once again. He asked the bird, I would have fallen on the ground and died. You have saved my life. Who are you?
The bird said he was Jatayu, son of Garuda and the younger brother of Sampati. I was flying around when I saw you fall. Knowing you and knowing that your death would mean the death of noble soul, I decided to save you.
Dashratha lit a fire and taking oaths, Jatayu and Dashratha pledged friendship to each other.
